2:47
Stews.in all of fame And I am
2:49
because the biggest story. Is
2:52
about cannibalism? Of yes Now the
2:54
President gave this cockamamie story about
2:57
cannibalism. You know his uncle was
2:59
eaten by cannibals. I don't think
3:01
any of that is true. Ah,
3:03
and even you know by doing
3:05
so he he put our longstanding
3:07
friendship with nudity. In Jeopardy.
3:10
I mean, that's that's hard to do what he did
3:12
it. Cannibalism. It's.
3:15
Actually happening and I will. So you

by your side a great dog and
3:58
i am happy that They are eating
4:00
and they are healthy and happy
4:03
as well. This is a
4:05
supplement you put on your dog's kibble food
4:07
because kibble doesn't really have all the nutrients
4:09
that your dog needs every day including
4:11
probiotics. So you sprinkle this on your dog's
4:14
food, they wolf it down, they
4:16
love it. It's
4:18
almost like dog crap. I don't
4:20

4:35
to do is call 833Glenn33, 833Glenn33 or
4:37
roughgreens.com/Beck. Sarah,
4:42
I think we need the cannibal
4:44
update. Do we have the cannibal
4:47
update music? Because
4:49
I have been very concerned about
4:51
cannibalism ever since Joe Biden brought
4:53
it up and I thought cannibalism,
4:57
you know, we all thought it
4:59
was over but then again we all thought the Soviet
5:01
Union was over, right? We thought that threat was over.
5:06
Cannibalism is real and
5:08
it's on display and
5:11
it involves, well, let
5:13
me show you. Here is Nancy Pelosi
5:16
involved in cannibalism on
5:19
MSNBC. And Joe Biden
5:21
is doing that, created 9 million
5:23
jobs in his tournament office. Donald
5:25
Trump has the worst record of
5:27
job loss of any president. So
5:30
we just have to make sure
5:32
people know. That was a global
5:34
pandemic. He
5:37
had the worst record and his president. We've
5:39
had other concerns in our country. If you
5:41
want to be an apologist for Donald Trump,
5:44
that may be your role. But it ain't
5:46
mine and he has the worst. We
5:49
know, but let me just say, as
5:51
the Speaker of the House, we put
5:54
forth a $3 trillion bill, $3
5:57
trillion of investment in communities.
6:00
and the rest and that is a constant I
6:04
mean now I don't know which one is in
6:06
the pot here which one's eating the other but
6:08
they are eating each other so cannibalism Another
6:11
update coming soon because it seems
6:14
to be going around now And
6:17
that's a real problem problem now Let's
6:20
do go to Colombia because it
6:22
was what happened there yesterday was
6:24
definitely not an insurrection, right? So
6:26
I mean definitely not gonna see no
6:29
insurrection there. No, not at all. That
6:31
was it was a protesters Glenn. Those
6:33
are protesters peacefully
6:35
protesting mostly the
6:39
Favor of the rapists and murderers in
6:41
Hamas. That's all that's all that was
6:44
Okay. Okay. Well, let
6:46
me show you some things that that happened.
6:48
This is in a library in Virginia
6:55
I mean listen to that noise the librarian her
6:57
head exploded immediately. She was like They
7:03
were riot police were there they they
7:05
stormed and took over the library at
7:07
the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia
7:09
and They
7:13
continued to talk out loud not in
7:15
whispers and it was
7:17
not good. It was not good here is
7:19
from UCLA a Jewish
7:23
student That
7:25
is being blocked from using the main
7:28
entrance. I have my ID right here
7:30
I mean blocked off not by the
7:32
shooting of it by you two you three.
7:35
Oh, look, they're making their burr Well, I'm going
7:37
this way. This is what they do everybody. Look
7:39
at this. Look at this. I'm
7:41
a UCLA student I deserve to go here.
7:43
We pay tuition. This is our school and
7:45
they're not letting me walk in my classes over there I
7:47
want to use that entrance. Well, I can't think what you
7:50
let me go in This could
7:52
be over in a second. Just let me and
7:54
my friends go in the class Then
7:59
you can move what you
8:01
move okay we're going
8:04
I'm not engaging I'm going in
8:07
I don't have my hands are I'm not hurting them
8:11
I'm not hurting them that's what they
8:13
do that's what they do everybody you
8:15
guys are promoting aggression you
8:17
guys are promoting hate where you feel
8:19
like since we deserve to be there true
8:23
but he's forgotten all the microaggressions still
8:25
your thoughts oh well I mean I
8:27
think that I think we should give
8:29
an award to the security guard who
8:32
stands there and does absolutely nothing and
8:34
allows them to block this person's progress
8:36
as he's trying to go to class
8:38
that's just like wow you know he
8:40
should get a Hamas award congratulations
8:43
to him I mean
8:46
that's completely I
8:49
completely unbelievable that they're allowing this
8:51
to go on and it's happening
8:53
in you know campus after campus
8:57
did you see the latest polls that
8:59
Americans are for Israel by I think
9:02
it's like 80% something
9:04
like that and or Israel I know I was
9:06
just talking to somebody like oh man that's it's
9:08
good to see because you do see in the
9:10
media a lot of times it feels like I
9:13
don't know this is like some close call and
9:15
Americans are like what is it 75 25
9:18
in favor of Israel Israel over Hamas and I said that's
9:21
terrible 75% of
9:24
people Israel over
9:26
Hamas not even like a hidden
9:29
oh the Palestinian people or whatever
9:31
they usually pitch no this is
9:33
the actual recognized terrorist
9:35
group was used in the poll this
9:37
should be 99 to 1 75%
9:42
sucks for that poll I
9:46
guess I guess I've just been beaten
9:48
down so far I guess like oh
9:50
that's good 12 people in America are still
9:52
for the Jews it's a little
9:56
beaten down by you know I am a little bit
9:59
do you see what University of Florida
10:01
said yesterday that
10:04
they're not going to tolerate it. They are
10:06
not a preschool. You know
10:08
the rules. You break them, you're out. Boy,
10:14
I can't imagine living in that fascistic society of
10:16
Florida. Can you imagine that? They hold you to
10:18
the rules. You sign, you know, when you sign
10:20
up for school, you read the rule book. You're
10:23
breaking the rules, you're out. They're
10:26
everywhere else. They're negotiating with these
10:28
people, you know. And I
10:30
just think negotiating with
10:32
terrorists is such a smart
10:34
idea. It's so
10:37
today, you know, so
10:39
open-minded, so woke, so
10:41
great. So one
10:43
of the, I think it
10:46
was Northwestern, negotiated to have
10:48
Palestinians, you know, come up
10:51
and speak on campus. So they're going
10:53
to get some, I don't know,
10:55
Hamas members. Why not? I mean, they did it
10:57
with the Nazis. They literally did this exact
10:59
same thing with the Nazis in the 1930s. Why
11:02
should we expect a different outcome? It's
11:05
the same kind of people, the
11:07
same group of people. They're
11:10
fine with that. Totally fine with that. By
11:12
the way, Spielberg is now
11:14
doing propaganda for Joe
11:17
Biden. I mean, no,
11:19
he's not. He's
11:22
looking into ways, it's not propaganda, he's
11:24
looking in ways to enhance the president's
11:26
message and help that message
11:29
get out like Nancy Pelosi just did.
11:31
I love that. She
11:33
was shocked when somebody in the media turned
11:36
around and said, it was a pandemic, but that's
11:38
what everybody says. Play that again. That's
11:40
what everybody says to their television when
11:42
they hear that stat. Everybody
11:44
says that. And
11:46
Joe Biden is doing that, created
11:49
nine million jobs in his tournament
11:51
office. Donald Trump has the worst
11:53
record of job loss of any
11:55
president. So we just have to
11:58
make sure people know. was a
12:00
global pandemic. He
12:03
had the worst record of any president.
12:05
We've had other concerns in our country.
12:07
If you want to be an apologist
12:09
for Donald Trump, that may be your
12:12
role, but it ain't mine. She doesn't
12:14
have any real comeback for it. No.
12:17
She has never been challenged on that.
12:19
She's literally stunned in that moment that
12:21
someone would point out to her the
12:23
most obvious thing in the world that
12:25
every single voter understands. And this is
12:27
showing up in the polls like crazy
12:30
that people don't even look at the
12:32
pandemic as part of Trump's economy. They
12:34
don't judge it that way. They look
12:36
at it and they say, well, it
12:38
was doing really well before this really
12:40
terrible thing that happened. Obviously,
12:43
a lot of jobs were lost and
12:45
obviously the American
12:48
people want to coming back to work after it
12:51
was over and Biden's trying to take credit for
12:53
all that. And what the most fascinating part about
12:55
this is if you're going to criticize Trump on
12:57
his performance in the economy when it comes to
12:59
the pandemic, you're going to hit him on the
13:02
shutdowns, right? Like he was in favor of the
13:04
shutdowns early, which okay. I
13:06
think that's a fair criticism. Certainly from the
13:08
right, it's a fair criticism. However, the Democrats
13:10
supported every single one of those policies and
13:12
tried to drag out the shutdowns for another
13:15
year and a half after Trump stopped supporting
13:17
them. So there's absolutely no
13:19
argument whatsoever. Everybody knows
13:22
everyone remembers COVID-19.
13:24
Everyone remembers the period. Everyone remembers being told
13:27
they couldn't go to work anymore for a
13:29
few months. Everybody remembers this and
13:31
the fact that they keep trying to pitch this
13:33
is so insultingly stupid that Katie tour can't even
13:35
let it happen on MSNBC and she's called
13:39
a Trump apologist for it.
13:41
She's not a conservative. No,
13:44
she's not even anywhere close
13:49
to that. She can't stand Donald Trump.
13:51
She can't stand him. She's embarrassed by
13:56
The point that Nancy Pelosi is making. She feels
13:58
that the end. Total pole
14:00
to she has to point out it's
14:02
such a stupid points and I feel
14:04
as I actually going to have a
14:06
bit of sympathy for certain democrats in
14:08
these in these moments. Where. Like
14:11
Katie to her who's obviously not know
14:13
conservative. Is. Like. Would.
14:15
Be a Trump apologist. Look at what I
14:17
look at my record. I've done nothing but
14:20
Best from for years and years and years
14:22
and years. The same thing with Joe Biden.
14:24
He's been criticized as Genocide Joe. He's done
14:26
so much to hurt the Jews. Why are
14:29
you one. Zero
14:34
Other A bureau yeah, kill terrorists and
14:36
stop people from being raped. He's done
14:39
so much is considered so much to
14:41
this cause and he's protesters mortgage credit
14:43
for it. I. Think I
14:45
personally think that this is genocide.
14:47
Joe is it's It's better to
14:49
call him genocide jokes from our
14:51
side than their side. He's
14:54
been funding the Arabians who wanted
14:57
genocide on all the to Mrs
14:59
or he's he is dead inside
15:01
jokes they're just mix up on
15:04
on who he wants to I
15:06
help killed By the way this
15:09
is what you would call propaganda.
15:11
What happened on Msnbc. It with
15:13
Nancy Pelosi propaganda and she was
15:16
shocked. That. There was somebody
15:18
supposedly on her side that would
15:20
not play the game. Will.
15:23
Something else came out yesterday that you need
15:25

17:15
Station ID. Welcome
17:26
to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad that you
17:28
are listening. I don't know if you saw the
17:32
OnlyFans star Farah
17:34
Khalidi. Do
17:36
we have the audio of her? She
17:38
was yesterday doing an interview and she
17:42
is a big influencer on TikTok.
17:46
And here's what she talked about.
17:49
I started TikTok like the spring semester
17:51
of my senior year and I was like, f***, I finally
17:53
have to start applying for law school. And then like, you
17:56
know, female privilege, life is so easy for a woman. Obviously,
17:59
I lucked out. I'm just kidding. I lucked
18:01
out and then TikTok was basically full-time for
18:03
me. I was taking ads by the time
18:05
I graduated college from the Biden administration and
18:07
Planned Parenthood and dating apps and stuff. So
18:09
it was fully financially sustained. So
18:12
you were getting the Biden administration was buying ads from you?
18:14
Yeah, I was doing full-on political propaganda. And
18:16
they would just, really, what kind of Biden
18:18
created 10 million jobs? Yeah,
18:21
honestly. And the funny thing is they're like, do not
18:23
disclose this is an ad because they're like, technically it's
18:25
not a product, so you don't have to disclose it's
18:27
an ad because I think they just wanted like
18:29
some edgy girl of color to just
18:31
tell people like when they nominated like Katanji Brown-Jacks
18:33
and they're like, can you say like as a
18:35
person of color, you know, that you feel
18:38
reflected and it's like a white woman emailing this to me and
18:40
she's like giving me this script and I'm like, no. And she's
18:42
like, please. And I'm like, no, I'll say I'll like talk about
18:44
the news of it, but I'm not going to be like, I'm
18:46
not going to have a white person tell me to be like,
18:48
you know, this is how I feel as a person of color.
18:50
Like it's just so I think that
18:52
black sold me slightly on like, you know,
18:54
political propaganda. And then the Biden administration
18:56
sees, oh, here's this young, yeah,
18:58
I mean, he's like a conduit. It's not like,
19:01
you know what I mean? It's not Biden, but
19:03
it's it's like a it's like a third party.
19:05
You know what I mean? It's like a media
19:07
company that's doing it on his behalf. I'm not
19:09
blaming him for this. Yeah. And the message is
19:11
like, because you're a dark skinned woman, you will
19:13
be inspired by Kataji Brown-Jacks said in all the
19:15
cases of order. Yeah. They're like basically as like another
19:17
black person just say that, like you feel reflected by Katanji.
19:19
I'm like, no, I'll talk about like Katanji's background and her
19:22
accomplishments. Like I never, you know what I mean? Like I'll
19:24
never I'm not going to say like the corny stuff, even
19:26
if it was a brown person emailing it to me, I'm
19:28
like, no, that's not like how I feel. Like I don't
19:30
look at like Katanji and feel like, wow.
19:34
Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. You
19:37
know what caught me there was
19:39
it's not officially a product. So
19:41
you don't have to disclose that
19:44
it's an ad. First
19:48
of all, I don't know if that's true. First
19:52
of all, I don't think that's true.
19:55
Second of all, notice
19:59
that And she went along with
20:01
it. She said, well, yeah,
20:04
but I'm not going to say the things they
20:06
wanted me to say. I'll talk about those things.
20:09
But I'm not, well, no, you're
20:11
still engaged in what you know
20:13
to be propaganda. And
20:16
you were fine with that. You
20:20
know the reason why I always say this
20:22
half hour brought you by or our sponsor
20:24
this half hour or something like that, because
20:26
I never ever want you to think that
20:29
I am scamming you somehow or
20:31
another, that one part of the conversation
20:33
leads into something else. And sometimes it
20:35
does. And it just happens to be
20:37
a well placed ad. But
20:39
I will always say this is a
20:42
commercial. This is an ad. This is
20:44
a sponsor. Because
20:46
when that happens and you figure it
20:48
out, you
20:51
feel betrayed. I
20:53
know this because I know I feel that way. Oh, wait
20:55
a minute. How much of this thing was a damn commercial?
20:58
How much of it does he really believe and how much is
21:00
he being paid for? Well, in
21:02
my case, I believe my sponsors.
21:05
I reject more than I accept. How
21:11
do people I mean, you're an only fan. So you
21:13
know, you're just like, get to it.
21:15
I don't really care. But
21:19
does anybody feel betrayed? Is
21:21
anybody worried? Where
21:26
is the precious news media? Can you imagine
21:29
if I were doing that and
21:31
Donald Trump, through surrogates, was paying
21:33
me to talk about
21:35
certain things that he had done and then
21:39
wanted me to say, you know, and I really
21:41
feel validated by this. I really do because, you
21:44
know, he likes white people and
21:46
I'm a white person. And so I really
21:49
feel validated by that. And I didn't tell
21:51
you that he was paying me to say
21:53
that it's grotesque for me to say that
21:55
if you even if he weren't
21:57
paying me. saying
22:00
me and I don't tell you what
22:03
is wrong with our country. It's amazing.
22:05
If you can't trust Farha
22:08
Khalidi, who can
22:10
you trust? Who can you trust? Who can you
22:13
trust? Well, I mean, what's the difference between what
22:15
Steven Spielberg is now doing for the White House?
22:18
Spielberg is now helping
22:21
him orchestrate propaganda
22:24
and orchestrate, you
22:26
know, how to lie to the American
22:28
people and pull it off. What
22:31
is the difference? Does
22:34
nobody on the left care about the truth anymore? I
22:41
think the average Democrat does care about
22:43
the truth, but the left certainly doesn't.
22:45
Let me tell you, since 9-11, our
22:48

24:14
a couple of weeks ago, there
24:16
was a Greek Orthodox bishop that
24:19
was stabbed while blessing the sacrament
24:21
during his Mass. He
24:26
was stabbed by a Muslim man and
24:28
stabbed in the face and in the eye. We
24:32
didn't know how he was faring. We knew
24:34
that he was going to recover shortly thereafter,
24:37
but he is back at work. Now, let me
24:40
refresh your memory on who this guy
24:42
is. We welcome Pat Gray from Pat Gray Unleashed
24:44
into the studio. If
24:46
you remember, this is the guy, well,
24:49
play the incident because it was broadcast
24:51
live. He was
24:53
stabbed in the head, Allah Akbar.
25:06
Now, they wanted
25:09
this removed because it
25:11
was causing people to
25:13
look at the Islamic
25:15
extremism and say, hey, this is a
25:17
problem. The government didn't want anything to
25:19
do with that. So they
25:21
told the media, they
25:24
told TikTok, they told Facebook,
25:29
Google, have it all removed, YouTube, have
25:31
all of this removed. Well, X wouldn't
25:34
because, you know, T'ilama said this
25:37
is history and you have a right
25:39
to see this. Well, the
25:41
government came bearing down on him, listened
25:44
to this from their prime minister. Well,
25:46
this guy is showing his arrogance. He's
25:50
a billionaire over there in the
25:52
United States who thinks he's above Australian
25:54
law. And the idea that someone would
25:56
go to court for
25:58
the right to. put
26:00
up violent content on
26:02
a platform shows
26:04
how out of touch Mr Musk
26:07
is. Stop. It's not violent content.
26:09
It is history. It's history.
26:13
Now listen to the senator from Australia
26:15
saying the same thing about Elon Musk.
26:18
This isn't about freedom of speech. No, no,
26:20
no. Next one. And most Australians have... Do
26:25
you have the next one, the senator? If not,
26:27
no big deal. Okay. Now,
26:30
Marmari, Bishop Marmari has
26:32
returned and
26:35
he gave his sermon cut five. Listen
26:37
to this. I
26:40
say to our beloved
26:42
the Australian government and
26:48
our beloved Prime Minister, the
26:51
Honorable Mr Albanese. I
26:58
believe in one thing and
27:02
that is the integrity
27:07
and the identity of the human being. This
27:12
is my belief
27:16
and this is above all my
27:18
Christian belief. For
27:21
this human identity, this
27:23
human integrity is a
27:25
God-given gift. No one else.
27:31
Every human being has
27:34
the right to
27:36
the freedom of speech and
27:38
freedom of religion. Every
27:41
human being. The
27:43
Buddhists have the right to express
27:45
their belief. The
27:48
Hindus have the right to express their
27:50
beliefs. The Muslims
27:52
have the right to express their beliefs.
27:55
The atheists have the
27:57
right to express their beliefs. Also,
28:00
the Christians have the right
28:03
to express their beliefs. And
28:09
for us to
28:11
say that free speech
28:14
is dangerous, that
28:17
free speech cannot
28:19
be possible in a democratic
28:22
country, I'm
28:25
yet to fathom this. I'm
28:28
yet to fathom this. We
28:33
should be able as civilized
28:35
human beings, as
28:38
intellectuals, we should
28:41
be able to
28:43
criticize, to
28:45
speak, and maybe
28:47
at some certain times
28:49
we may sound or
28:52
we may come across offensive to
28:54
somewhat degree. But
28:57
we should be able to say,
28:59
I should not worry for
29:02
my life to be exposed
29:05
to threat or
29:07
to be taken away. His
29:11
sermons are so clear on
29:14
what we're facing with good versus evil. This
29:17
is one of the reasons why they wanted
29:19
this swept. They don't want to make him
29:21
even bigger than he already is in Australia.
29:24
Because he is saying the things that
29:26
anybody who understands freedom believes
29:29
in. One last clip and then
29:31
I'd like to get Pat's thoughts on this. One
29:34
last, this is the first part of his
29:36
sermon. Cut four. Listen
29:39
to this. This message to the attacker. I'll say it again. This
29:44
young man who did this act almost
29:47
two weeks ago, I
29:49
say to you, my dear, you
29:52
are my son and
29:55
you will always be my son. I
29:59
will always help you. I'll
30:01
always wish you nothing but the first. I
30:04
pray that My Lord and Savior
30:06
Jesus Christ Of Nazareth. Lives
30:10
in your hearts and minds
30:12
of their song or inspired
30:14
me to realize my the
30:16
there is only one god
30:19
for article that the creator
30:21
of all high and everything
30:23
else that is visible and
30:25
invisible. And. I say
30:27
we have some of love. Dot
30:32
is Jesus Christ. In
30:34
and. Money on
30:36
my son, my and some more
30:38
knows it is coming from the
30:41
minimum. All. along with.
30:45
Ever mosque this ad. In
30:48
the name of my Jesus I
30:51
succeed you. I
30:53
love and I will always vote.
30:56
For me, it's. Priceless
31:00
gift. That
31:03
I am not worthy of praise.
31:05
The movie sets, That's
31:09
what safe should be
31:11
teaching all of us.
31:14
That's. What our religion should be
31:16
teaching us to stand up. Against.
31:19
On righteous power. But
31:21
also, forgive those who hate
31:23
you so much. they'll kill
31:26
you. That's
31:28
a remarkable, remarkable man. I
31:30
in no Australia better Christian
31:33
and I am. I don't
31:35
suits. Two weeks later I'd
31:37
be signal same things. I.
31:40
Really? don't I get my he was harboring
31:42
a little bit of ill will still toward
31:44
him. I take me a little longer than
31:46
two weeks and are no. Ah,
31:49
Yes, I am derail you I'm I'm
31:51
always surprised at the number of people
31:53
who you know a drunk driver will
31:55
kill their child or anything else and
31:57
else you know I would have a
31:59
hard the with my children than with
32:01
me. Ah, Ha
32:03
just or he would be so
32:06
hard and I'm always amazed at
32:08
those people. Like the Amish that
32:11
the guy came in and slaughtered
32:13
all of their children in school.
32:15
he was a milk truck driver,
32:18
lived in town, walked in, lost
32:20
his marbles, shot all of their
32:22
children and while they were all
32:25
gathered around the school their bodies
32:27
still being pulled out. The family
32:30
somebody said to the army's oh
32:32
my gosh. His wife.
32:35
Were not the only ones that
32:37
lost somebody, his wife and child
32:39
or at home. Probably.
32:41
Scared to death and imagine being
32:43
that woman standing in that house
32:46
knowing that your husband's just killed
32:48
all these almost children and you
32:50
see coming up your sidewalk all
32:52
these are my parents gave see
32:54
knocks on the door where they
32:56
knock on the door they opened
32:59
it up and said you are
33:01
sister we forgive your husband and
33:03
you had nothing to do with
33:05
this. They not only forgive her
33:07
and comfort her but they refuse
33:09
a her. Me: You
33:11
know in a in a nice way to
33:14
refuse her from leaving. They did they say
33:16
to her you are now part of our
33:18
family. The. Rebuild part of
33:20
her house. I mean this
33:22
is amazing when people forgive.
33:25
Yeah. I the Bible tells you to
33:27
be like Jesus doesn't necessitate can be easy.
33:30
Or. ninety four sigma he gets do your
33:32
best sick how to act like this
33:34
guy probably not going to be they've
33:36
been piece of cake f you've been
33:38
stabbed in the eye balls right yeah
33:40
that size amazing that people can find
33:42
that strengthen those moments maybe it's a
33:44
hit to us when we get in
33:46
a weird a little annoyed at somebody
33:48
online than me be abandoning all of
33:51
our principles get that right retort in
33:53
is not the right approach let me
33:55
when he play one more piece i
33:57
want to talk about this later maybe
33:59
tomorrow but But Russell Brand was baptized
34:01
over the weekend. Listen
34:03
to what he said about his baptism. As
34:06
a person that has in the past
34:08
taken many, many substances and always been
34:11
disappointed with their inability to deliver the
34:13
kind of tranquility and peace and even
34:15
transcendence I always felt I've been looking
34:17
for something occurred in
34:19
the process of baptism that was
34:22
incredible overwhelming, literally overwhelming because I
34:24
was obviously underwater and it was
34:26
the River Thames at some point.
34:30
So I felt change
34:32
transitioned. Now of course even though it's been
34:34
less than 24 hours in the interim period
34:36
I've already felt like sort of irritation.
34:39
I've got three children, I've got a job, I've
34:41
got challenges, I still live in the world but
34:43
I feel as if some new resource within me
34:46
has switched on. So many
34:48
of your comments have been so beautiful and encouraging
34:50
and I really appreciate it and also even the
34:52
cynicism I understand because some people will just see
34:54
me as a celebrity. I don't see me as
34:57
a celebrity because I was me when I was
34:59
a little boy, I was me when I was
35:01
a junkie, I was me when I was poor.
35:03
I've been me in all of the different phases
35:06
but I recognise that anything in this terrain in
35:08
the social media world could be exploited and utilised.
35:11
For me I've made the
35:13
decision and I know what the decision
35:15
is. I've made it for myself and
35:17
I pray that it will be relevant
35:19
to my family in particular, my children,
35:21
my wife's Catholic, you know she's already
35:23
made her own choices in this life
35:25
including this one. This
35:27
is new for me, I'm learning and I
35:30
will make mistakes but this is my path
35:32
now and I already feel incredibly
35:36
blessed, relieved, nourished,
35:38
held. Pat
35:42
was the one who baptised me in
35:44
the waters and I felt exactly the
35:46
same as Russell Brand and he's going
35:48
to make mistakes just like I
35:50
continue to make mistakes to this day. You're
35:56
still a human being but it is a
35:58
powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful, powerful. powerful
36:00
thing that changed my life, I
36:03
think, overnight. How long did it
36:05
take you, Pat, to see the
36:07
changes in me? Oh, it was,
36:09
yeah, it was definitely fast
36:12
after your baptism. Definitely fast. And
36:14
I know people back then
36:16
that thought, oh, he's just doing this. He's
36:18
just trying to, you know, exactly what
36:20
they're saying about Russell Brand. The
36:23
change in him has been astounding though, hasn't
36:25
it? I mean, he has been. He was
36:27
despicable. I couldn't stand to listen to the
36:29
guy 15 years ago. And
36:32
now look at him. Not
36:34
only has he changed religiously,
36:37
spiritually, but politically too. He's
36:40
pretty listenable now. I
36:42
mean, I will tell you, which
36:46
direction would you rather go down? The
36:49
direction where Russell Brand has changed that
36:51
much and he's much more of a
36:53
peaceful individual wants to, you know,
36:57
hear other sides, understand people.
37:00
He loves people or
37:02
the Russell Brand that he was before. You
37:05
know, would you rather be on the Russell Brand path
37:07
or the one that is happening on our campuses, the
37:10
ones that are society, wokeness,
37:14
the high priests of the universities,
37:16
the gods that are in
37:19
the White House and the administration
37:21
and Congress, that they think they are
37:23
the one that leads
37:26
you to happiness. It's
37:29
amazingly simple, the
37:31
choice, but amazingly, not everybody
37:36
is seeing that, but more and more
37:38
are. And for that, praise
37:40
God. All
37:44
right. Our sponsor of this F hour is

39:31
is, what, a week from Sunday? So make sure
39:33
you don't screw it up. Make
39:36
sure that you remember that mom is not just, you
39:38
know, some of all the mom stuff she did for
39:40
you when you were growing up in the cooking, the
39:42
cleaning, and the Uber driver. Make
39:44
sure as you get a good older, you realize
39:46
that she's got to end a whole life outside
39:48
of motherhood and when you can kind
39:51
of get to Mother's Day and realize that
39:53
as an adult, that she gave up a
39:55
lot for you, right? Like, she put
39:57
her busy life aside many, many times. So
40:00
that she could do things for you and now
40:02
you can get her of course the same old
40:04
boring crap that you've gotten her other years and
40:06
flowers that maybe die five minutes after she puts them
40:08
in a vase. But you could go
40:11
the other way with books now books is
40:13
awesome it's different their flowers are cut fresh
40:15
and sourced directly from the best flower farm

42:17
yesterday, Tucker Carlson released an interview
42:19
with a man who I have
42:21
said is the most dangerous man
42:23
in the world, Alexander
42:26
Dugan. This
42:28
came up quickly, it was spur of the
42:30
moment from my understanding while he was over
42:32
in Russia and they said just
42:34
do a quick 20 minute interview and he did. But
42:38
in 20 minutes you can't find who
42:41
Alexander Dugan really is. I'm
42:43
going to explain to you
42:45
exactly who Alexander Dugan is
42:49
next with Stephen Hicks. The
42:52
Glenn Beck program. Back in the good old

ranchers.com. It's
44:32
a new year! Welcome
44:40
to the Fusion TV of
44:43
entertainment. And
44:46
in my company, this
44:49
is the Glenn Beck program. Hello
44:54
America. Yesterday, a video
44:57
was released of an interview with
44:59
Tucker Carlson and Alexander Dugan. A
45:03
guy that I have said for years
45:05
is one of, if not the most
45:07
dangerous man on the planet. He
45:11
is the architect of the
45:14
friendship now with Russia and Iran.
45:17
He is the architect of the
45:19
Crimea invasion. He is also a
45:21
man who believes he can hasten the return of
45:23
the promised one. Meaning, let's
45:26
get to the apocalypse quickly.
45:30
He believes that capitalism is,
45:33
what did he say? I want
45:35
to get him exactly right. Capitalism
45:38
is a virus.
45:42
And he believes the United States of
45:44
America is the anti-Christ. Now,
45:47
none of that came up in
45:49
the very short interview with Tucker
45:51
Carlson. Why? Because Carlson was offered
45:53
this interview and if I
45:55
were Tucker Carlson, I would have taken it as well.
46:00
It's very rare that you find somebody
46:02
very rare that you find somebody who
46:04
really knows who? Alexander
46:06
Dugan is he talks a
46:08
great game. I think he has He
46:12
has crystallized the problems
46:15
In such a fashion that even I will
46:17
listen to him and go yep. He's right.
46:19
Yep. He's right It's
46:22
his solutions to the problem That's
46:26
what Tucker did not get to because it
46:29
was only a short 20-minute interview Dugan's
46:31
very good at this So
46:33
it is important before you watch
46:35
this interview or if you've already
46:37
watched it that you understand who
46:39
Alexander Dugan is Because
46:42
this is a massive trap
46:44
for Americans and freedom lovers
46:46
all over the world and all
46:48
over the West We're gonna
46:50
bring Stephen Hicks professor Stephen
46:52
Hicks in he knows Alexander
46:54
Dugan. He is a professor of
46:57
philosophy and Dugan
46:59
says he's just a philosopher, but
47:02
he's not he's a political strategist
47:04
as well as a As
47:07
a philosopher and a dangerous
47:09
man, and you'll understand why by the end of
47:11
this hour Stephen Hicks joins me
47:13
in 60 seconds Being
47:16
prepared for an emergency isn't just the smart thing
47:18
to do it is the right thing to do
47:20
Especially if you have a family who's going to
47:22
depend on you to help them through that Part
47:25
of the preparedness is having emergency food

48:29
to talk to him, Rockford University Philosophy
48:31
Professor, Center for Ethics
48:33
and Entrepreneurship Executive Director,
48:36
Stephen Hicks. Hello, Stephen. How are you, sir?
48:39
I am very well. Thanks for having me on again, Glenn.
48:42
You bet. So, I watched this interview
48:45
and I know that Tucker didn't
48:47
know who he was, Alexander Dugan,
48:49
because when he was over there, I
48:52
said, be careful if you're
48:55
involved with Alexander Dugan. And that, unfortunately,
48:57
I said that right before he left.
49:00
So, he had already done the interview,
49:02
and he said, not really sure about
49:04
this guy. And
49:07
I don't think really had done
49:09
his homework, because it came
49:11
up last minute. But
49:14
also, Dugan is hard to nail
49:16
down if you just
49:18
look at him on the surface. Would you agree
49:20
with that? Well,
49:23
sure. TV
49:25
interviewers will often under-prepare,
49:27
and they don't necessarily have the
49:29
philosophical and strategic depth to understand.
49:32
And as you were suggesting, Dugan is a
49:34
slippery character. At the same time, he is
49:37
deep, he is a philosopher as well
49:40
as being a strategist. But
49:42
at the same time, I don't want
49:44
to let someone like Tucker Carlson off
49:46
the hook, because we do have enough
49:48
historical knowledge about the kinds of positions
49:50
that Dugan is offering. He is repackaging
49:53
ideas and strategies that have been well-worked
49:55
over in the 20th century. And so,
49:58
we should be up to speed on that. And
50:00
so I think partly what we
50:02
need is a little philosophical up-rushing,
50:04
but also some historical reminders of
50:06
history repeating itself. So let
50:08
me play just a little bit of what he
50:10
said to Tucker yesterday, and we'll start there. Here's
50:13
a clip from the Tucker Carlson interview with Alexander Dugan. And
50:16
after the fall of the Soviet Union, there
50:18
was only liberalism. And Francis
50:20
Fukuyama has pointed out correctly
50:22
that there are no more
50:25
any ideologies except of liberalism.
50:27
So liberalism, that was liberation
50:30
of this individual from
50:33
any kind of collective identity. There
50:35
were only two collective
50:38
identities to liberate from
50:42
gender identity, because it is collective
50:44
identity. You are a man or
50:46
a woman collectively, so you
50:48
could be alone. So
50:51
liberation from gender, and
50:53
that has led
50:55
to transgenders, to LGBT,
50:58
and new form of
51:01
sexual individualism. So sex is
51:05
something optional. And
51:07
that was not just
51:10
deviation of liberalism. That was
51:13
necessary elements of implementation and
51:15
the victor of this liberal
51:17
ideology. And the last step
51:20
that is not yet totally
51:24
made is liberation from
51:26
human identity, humanity optional.
51:29
And now we are choosing, or you in the
51:31
West, you are choosing the
51:33
sex you want as you want. And
51:36
the last step in this process
51:39
of liberalism,
51:41
implementation of liberalism, will
51:43
mean precisely the human
51:46
and optional. So you can
51:48
choose your individual identity to
51:50
be human, not to be
51:52
human. And that has a
51:54
name, transhumanism, posthumanism, singularity,
51:58
artificial intelligence. Christians,
52:00
Klaus Schwab, Kurzweil or
52:02
Harari, they openly declare
52:05
that is an inevitable
52:07
future of humanity. So
52:10
we arrive to
52:12
the historical terminal station
52:14
that we finally, five
52:17
centuries ago, we have
52:19
embarked in this train and now we are
52:22
arriving at the last station.
52:26
So what he's saying here is that liberalism,
52:29
meaning the classic liberalism where
52:31
you're an individual, it's not
52:33
collective, etc., etc., he says
52:36
the inevitable end is progressivism
52:39
and then some dystopian future.
52:42
But I don't think that's right. I'd love to hear
52:44
from you. Liberalism
52:47
doesn't lead to progressivism. Marxism
52:50
leads to progressivism. The
52:53
first half of the Dugan clip I think
52:55
is correct. The second half is a massive
52:57
equivocation. I think philosophically he should know better.
53:00
I think he's doing some tactical
53:03
rhetoric against the West and talking
53:05
about the French genderism. So
53:07
let's take those two in part. So first
53:09
part is fall of the Soviet Union. I
53:11
think Dugan is exactly right. What
53:14
played out in the 20th century left only
53:17
some sort of liberalism standing in the field.
53:19
The 20th century was a huge
53:21
ideological battle. I think
53:24
Dugan's analysis is correct. That's the kind
53:26
of analysis I've argued and many other
53:28
people have argued as well. The 20th
53:30
century was about some sort of liberalism
53:33
versus some sort of fascism or
53:35
national socialism versus some
53:37
sort of Marxist communism. We
53:40
fought world wars. We fought Cold
53:43
Wars. We fought many French warfare
53:45
ideological wars as well. What
53:48
happened was fascism was defeated. National socialism
53:50
was defeated and by 1991 Marxist communism
53:52
was defeated. So
53:56
what seemed to be almost inevitable, I
53:58
don't want to use the inevitable. language,
54:00
but was that
54:02
some sort of liberal democracy,
54:05
capitalism, individualism, modernity was triumphant.
54:08
So I think that part is
54:10
exactly right. Now where
54:12
I think Dougan goes wrong is in
54:14
the what happens next. My view is
54:16
that what happened was that liberalism took
54:19
a breather. We've been fighting wars, ideological
54:22
and actual wars for over a century.
54:24
We let our
54:26
guard down, we're relaxed. We kind of thought
54:28
everybody is going to get on board
54:31
and some sort of liberal democratic
54:33
capitalist, but modern future is slowly
54:35
then going to prevail over the
54:38
next generation. Now what
54:40
actually happened though was that
54:42
the fascists, the national socialists,
54:44
the authoritarians, the communists, the
54:46
Marxists of various sorts did
54:48
not simply go away and
54:50
give up the fight. Instead
54:52
they started to repackage themselves
54:55
and then inside the now triumphant
54:57
west there were counter movements that
54:59
started to reassert themselves.
55:03
And then we started to see then
55:05
by the time we get to 2010,
55:07
2015 or so that those counter western
55:10
movements inside the west are
55:12
reasserting themselves and everybody starts to become
55:14
aware of them. And the particularly
55:17
nasty forms of transgenders, and I
55:19
think there is a legitimate version
55:22
of transgenders that reasonable
55:25
and sensitive people will take
55:27
aware of, but weaponized transgenderism
55:30
of the particularly violent form that
55:32
we're sometimes dealing with, that
55:35
is a different phenomenon. So
55:38
the second part then is what Dougan wants to
55:40
do is to say, and this is the part
55:42
that you are picking up on, that the
55:45
relativism, the angry activism,
55:49
the willingness to let everything
55:51
burn inside the west that
55:54
we're now confronting with, the
55:56
virulent forms of Islamism that
55:58
we are now confronting and
56:01
so on, the total package of anti-Western,
56:04
anti-liberalisms, where did those
56:06
come from? Now
56:09
I agree those are pathological,
56:11
they are very destructive, but
56:13
what Dugan is offering is
56:16
a thesis that says that
56:18
those anti-liberalisms are themselves
56:20
an outgrowth of liberalism,
56:23
and that I think is simply false.
56:28
So when he says
56:31
an end to modernity
56:33
and liberalism, he's actually,
56:35
I mean one of the first
56:37
things I found about Dugan that opened
56:40
my eyes was
56:42
his statement
56:44
that fascism
56:47
with Mussolini, Mussolini he says was a
56:49
very brave person as was Hitler, but
56:53
it didn't work, but they understood
56:56
that international communism
56:59
was not good, so they went for
57:01
national communism or socialism which became fascist,
57:03
and he said where the two of
57:06
them went wrong was they
57:08
offered too many compromises. He
57:12
said the future
57:15
is fascism without compromise.
57:18
That's a little terrifying. So
57:21
this is 1990s Dugan in
57:23
the first decade after the fall of the
57:25
Soviet Union, and he's a
57:27
strange character at this point. He's
57:30
already adopted various
57:32
forms of Nazism in the 1980s,
57:34
and at this point he's not
57:36
a young man, he's in his
57:38
late 20s, he's in his early
57:40
30s, so he's a mature thinker.
57:43
He hates liberalism already, he hates
57:45
modernity, he hates the West in
57:47
its entirety. At the
57:49
same time, he's dissatisfied with all what's
57:51
going on in the
57:53
Soviet Union, its version of communism and
57:56
Marxism. When the Soviet
57:58
Union falls, though he is... co-founder
58:00
of a national Bolshevik party. And
58:02
the Bolsheviks, of course, were Lenin,
58:04
Stalin, Trotsky, and so on. So
58:07
it's a reworking of
58:09
a kind of communist Marxism,
58:11
but the nationalism is important
58:13
there for him.
58:15
And he then, within a
58:17
few years, settles on saying,
58:19
what we need to do
58:22
is just rework fascism. So
58:24
he is widely and explicitly
58:26
admiring of Mussolini, and some
58:28
of the German fascists of the
58:30
1920s and early 1930s. And he publishes an article in
58:33
1997 called Fascism,
58:38
Borderless, and Red.
58:41
The red part means blood, and it
58:43
means a little bit of incorporation of
58:45
Marxism that's going to be a bloody,
58:48
violent revolution that we need. And
58:51
the borderless party is also there, that we
58:53
need to expand Russia's border. We need to
58:55
be expansionist. What we need
58:57
is a kind of national socialism,
59:00
and he takes the socialism
59:02
seriously, economic control. But
59:05
it's not going to be a socialism where
59:07
we take, so to speak, the Russian people,
59:09
and we make them fit into some abstract
59:11
socialist template. This is the
59:13
fascist part. We need to take
59:15
the Russian people, its particular ethnic
59:17
identity, including its religion, its cultures,
59:20
its traditions, see it as having
59:22
a world historical destiny. It's going
59:24
to lead the world to a
59:27
new, bright future that's not going
59:29
to be trapped
59:32
in the old Marxist way. And as
59:34
you're suggesting, it's going
59:36
to learn from the failures of the
59:39
earlier versions of fascism and national socialism.
59:41
And what that is going to involve
59:43
is a willing to be muscular, a
59:46
willing to be violent, a
59:49
willing to take ethnicity and
59:51
nationalism seriously and not to
59:53
compromise one jot with
59:56
capitalism with any form of Western
59:58
liberalism. So yes, that's... do them by
1:00:00
the time we get to the late 1990s. All
1:00:04
right, more in just a second with Stephen Hicks. We're
1:00:06
going to give you 60 seconds to tell you about
1:00:08
our sponsor and then right back into the conversation. Every
1:00:11
spring and every summer you have to get up on
1:00:13
a ladder and clean out the gutters to your house
1:00:15
or even worse, you have to pay
1:00:17
somebody else to do it. It's no fun, kind
1:00:19
of dangerous, but it's one of those necessary evils
1:00:22
in your life that you just have to do
1:00:24
because if you let rain and water build
1:00:26
up, you're going to be paying for it in a
1:00:29
ton of different ways. Here's a better solution, the

1:01:32
Stephen, are you saying that in the 1990s
1:01:35
that's who he was, but he has rejected
1:01:37
or he has
1:01:39
just enhanced this in
1:01:42
his way of calling it the fourth political fifth
1:01:44
theory? Yeah, fourth political theory published
1:01:46
that in 2009. So he's
1:01:48
now in his 40s. There
1:01:50
is a slight evolution. So
1:01:52
he starts to abjure the
1:01:54
fascist label. Fascism has had
1:01:56
terrible press, deservedly so. So
1:01:59
he wants to back. away a little
1:02:01
from the label. But in
1:02:04
fact, he absorbs still 95% of the fascist principles and
1:02:10
reworks them with a different label. So what happens by
1:02:12
the time we get to
1:02:14
the fourth political theory is that he
1:02:16
adds officially fascism to the list of
1:02:18
failed theories. He thinks liberalism is immoral,
1:02:21
disgusting, we need to defeat it, communism
1:02:23
has failed, but
1:02:26
he wants to evolve in a couple
1:02:28
of directions. One direction is that
1:02:31
fascism is explicitly nationalistic. So
1:02:33
it's going to be a
1:02:36
kind of a collective authoritarianism
1:02:38
for the Italian people taking
1:02:40
it in Mussolini's form. So
1:02:43
taking the ethnicity of Italians, their
1:02:45
religion, their language, their traditions and
1:02:48
so forth is somehow special. And
1:02:51
that you are part of a collective
1:02:53
identity by being an Italian person, you're
1:02:55
not an individual, you absorb yourself into
1:02:58
that ethnicity with the
1:03:00
leadership on top, the authoritarian leadership
1:03:02
that Mussolini is going to provide.
1:03:05
So that is
1:03:07
ethnic in the German case,
1:03:09
it's a combination of ethnicity,
1:03:12
the German ethnicity is special,
1:03:14
but there's also a materialistic
1:03:16
racial component that the Germans
1:03:20
and they go back and forth between saying,
1:03:23
we are racist versus we are
1:03:25
ethnic. And what Guggen is
1:03:27
clear is to say that he's not
1:03:29
a materialist, he's going to offer
1:03:31
more spiritual, philosophical, metaphysical understanding of
1:03:34
what it is to be the
1:03:36
right kind of person, the right
1:03:38
kind of collective, and
1:03:40
it has to be ethnic. So
1:03:42
he abjures any sort of
1:03:45
racialist language more explicitly by the
1:03:47
time we get to the 90s.
1:03:49
But he's still collective and so forth. And the
1:03:52
other thing is that in fact, hang
1:03:54
on just a second. Let me just throw this
1:03:56
quote in before you leave collective. He said, quote,
1:03:58
we propose the theory that every Every human
1:04:00
identity is acceptable and
1:04:03
justified except for
1:04:05
that of the individual and
1:04:08
individualism. Liberalism
1:04:11
must be defeated and destroyed and
1:04:13
the individual must be thrown off
1:04:15
his pedestal." Exactly right.
1:04:18
So, it's the Western
1:04:20
liberals who are individualistic.
1:04:22
We believe every individual
1:04:24
has the right to
1:04:26
life, liberty, pursuit of
1:04:28
happiness, control your own
1:04:30
conscience, freedom of religion and
1:04:32
so forth. All of those individualistic
1:04:35
elements that Dugan is rejecting and
1:04:37
he's rejecting them agreeing with the
1:04:40
theorists of fascism, the theorists of
1:04:43
national socialism and the updated versions
1:04:45
that he is in favor
1:04:47
of for Russia. Now if
1:04:49
you reject individualism though, the
1:04:51
question is what group forms
1:04:53
your identity properly? Now it's
1:04:56
true, in 2009 in the
1:04:58
quotation that you just read,
1:05:00
he's pretty open to saying there
1:05:02
are lots of different group identities
1:05:04
that are possible and legitimate. And
1:05:06
so there's a direct connection to
1:05:09
all of the identity politics that's floating
1:05:11
around in Western circles right now. Should
1:05:14
it be your racial identity? Should it
1:05:16
be your gender identity? Should it be
1:05:18
your religious identity? Should it be your
1:05:20
ethnic identity and so forth? And
1:05:22
he's open to any form of
1:05:24
groupism or collectivism right at that
1:05:26
point as long as it's not
1:05:29
valorizing the individual at the end.
1:05:33
So I want to come back because he
1:05:35
is very attractive on some of the things
1:05:37
that he says because
1:05:40
he's diagnosing one particular problem
1:05:43
that I think is real and we'll get to that
1:05:45
here in just a second, more with Stephen Hicks on
1:05:48
Alexander Dugan. Thank you. I
1:06:00
got out of pain. I don't
1:06:02
know, most people don't know that I'm a painter, but I
1:06:04
can paint a room in an hour. No.
1:06:08
I do artistic painting and
1:06:10
fine art. And
1:06:12
it was impossible for me to hold
1:06:14
a paintbrush. And painting is
1:06:16
the only thing that turns my mind off. I
1:06:18
can only just think about
1:06:21
the brush and where it is and the paint adhering
1:06:24
to the canvas. And it's really important
1:06:26
to me. And I never thought I'd be able to do it. Relief
1:06:29
Factor. I took it, my wife
1:06:31

1:07:17
Welcome to the program. Yesterday,
1:07:20
an interview that Tucker Carlson did while he was
1:07:22
in Russia was released. It was about 20 minutes.
1:07:26
And I applaud everyone for having a conversation.
1:07:28
Tucker has said many times, it's important to
1:07:30
see and understand how our adversaries view us.
1:07:35
Well, that wasn't clear in this.
1:07:38
He just diagnosed the problem as Alexander
1:07:40
Dugan always does, and enough to open
1:07:43
a door to people, have people say,
1:07:45
oh, well, I think I might
1:07:47
agree with that. It is
1:07:49
really important. What Tucker has begun,
1:07:51
we have to now continue that
1:07:54
conversation. So people on our side
1:07:56
will not fall victim to this
1:07:58
guy. about how
1:08:00
his books people want his books to be banned.
1:08:02
I don't. I want you to read him in
1:08:05
his own words. There will be stuff at the
1:08:07
beginning of the book you'll go, yep, yeah, he
1:08:09
knows me. And then by the
1:08:11
time you're at the end of the
1:08:13
book you're like this is a horror
1:08:16
show, literally a horror show. But you
1:08:18
should read him. Jefferson, when we went
1:08:20
into our first foreign war which was
1:08:22
against the Muslim pirates, insisted that everybody
1:08:24
read the Quran. If you really want
1:08:26
to understand the absurdity of it all,
1:08:28
he said, you need to
1:08:31
read this in their own words. Now
1:08:34
let's get down to it. One
1:08:37
of the things that he says, Stephen Hicks is
1:08:39
with us, one of the things he says,
1:08:41
Stephen, a lot of the
1:08:43
time, is about
1:08:45
this feeling of nationalism. And people
1:08:48
in the press don't get it. They
1:08:51
think Brexit was
1:08:53
an evil thing and people
1:08:55
were extremists. No, there are
1:08:58
people in Norway, there are
1:09:00
people in Italy,
1:09:02
there are people in Greece, in
1:09:05
the Great Britain that are proud
1:09:07
of their country and should be proud of
1:09:10
their country. And when you say don't fly
1:09:12
your flag, fly instead, the
1:09:14
European Union flag, that's
1:09:16
not who they are. And they
1:09:18
feel like they're being snuffed out just
1:09:20
like Americans now feel, that our culture
1:09:23
is under attack, our history, our
1:09:25
very existence. And what we've always stood
1:09:27
for is being wiped
1:09:29
out. And people can
1:09:32
be against that without being haters.
1:09:35
But he zeros in on
1:09:37
that and
1:09:39
says the collective state
1:09:42
image is really important. And
1:09:44
I think that's where he begins to connect
1:09:46
with people. And then people don't
1:09:48
look any further. Do you agree
1:09:50
with any of that, Stephen? Well,
1:09:53
nationalism is a term that
1:09:55
needs some careful delineation. And
1:09:58
often it gets packaged with all sorts of unfavorable
1:10:00
stuff, and that's partly what Dugan
1:10:03
is doing. It's one thing to
1:10:05
say we need to have an authoritarian,
1:10:08
bureaucratic regime centered in
1:10:11
Brussels, the European Union,
1:10:14
or the United Nations, or something like that, and that's going
1:10:16
to crample over regional
1:10:18
differences, national differences, ethnic differences,
1:10:20
and turn us all into
1:10:23
homogeneous robots of some sort.
1:10:26
It's fine to be against that. And
1:10:30
to see that as a kind of
1:10:32
foil. At the same time, nationalism sometimes
1:10:34
just means, you know, I happen to
1:10:36
have been born in a certain ethnicity
1:10:38
within a certain nation, and because
1:10:41
I was born here, I'm just
1:10:43
unthinkingly getting my identity
1:10:45
and my allegiance to whatever my
1:10:47
particular government does as well. I
1:10:50
think both of those are inappropriate
1:10:52
ways to use nationalism. So the
1:10:55
issue of nations, right,
1:10:57
is to me I
1:10:59
think it's a secondary or even a
1:11:01
tertiary issue about what level of
1:11:04
political organization we should
1:11:06
have in place, how much things should be
1:11:08
local at the state or regional level, how
1:11:10
much at the national, international level, and so
1:11:13
on. So it's an
1:11:15
issue of kind
1:11:17
of the appropriate bureaucratic
1:11:19
and administrative governance. But
1:11:22
the important content issue is what is
1:11:24
the purpose of your governance? And it's
1:11:26
one thing to say I live in
1:11:28
a nation that takes individuals and
1:11:30
their freedoms and their rights
1:11:33
very seriously, and we
1:11:35
have a government that exists to protect
1:11:37
individuals in their freedoms and their
1:11:40
property rights and so forth. And
1:11:43
because I live in a nation
1:11:45
that is striving for that moral
1:11:47
set of principles, I am proud
1:11:49
of my nation. And
1:11:51
that kind of patriotism or nationalism
1:11:54
or identification with your country
1:11:56
I think is perfectly appropriate.
1:12:00
There are some nations that are much better
1:12:02
on that and some nations that are much
1:12:04
worse on that. At the
1:12:06
same time, there are lots of levels
1:12:09
of organization that should be international.
1:12:11
So we should be able to
1:12:13
trade with people in different parts
1:12:15
of the world. We should
1:12:17
have business agreements
1:12:20
and so forth that are
1:12:22
international. And any sort of, my
1:12:25
nation is going to block off access
1:12:27
to your nation and so forth. I
1:12:29
think that is inappropriate. So
1:12:32
sorting out what is properly
1:12:35
protecting the rights and freedoms of individuals.
1:12:37
And sometimes that's going to be at
1:12:39
a national level and sometimes that's going
1:12:41
to be more open and
1:12:44
international. That's something that political scientists
1:12:46
need to work out. Now
1:12:48
what Dugan though is doing is wanting to
1:12:50
say it's not at all about the individual.
1:12:53
It's not about liberties at all.
1:12:55
That's what the quotation you earlier
1:12:58
alluded to is all about. He
1:13:00
does see it as collective entities
1:13:03
that are organized at
1:13:05
the ethnic level. For
1:13:07
the most part of his career, he thought
1:13:09
that the nation state was the right level
1:13:11
of analysis. And that the different
1:13:14
collective national identities are at war
1:13:16
with each other or at
1:13:18
least at conflict with each other.
1:13:20
And so one needs to be
1:13:22
willing to enter into that fray
1:13:24
and be violent with respect to
1:13:26
other nations to put up borders
1:13:29
to try to sabotage them in
1:13:31
various ways. Now that
1:13:33
kind of nationalism takes him
1:13:35
back to the fascism, takes him back
1:13:37
to the national socialism.
1:13:39
And that takes him back even to some
1:13:41
versions of Marxist communism where
1:13:43
they wanted to argue that it
1:13:46
was our nation where the Marxist revolution
1:13:48
is going to have to happen first.
1:13:50
And we are in a bloody conflict
1:13:53
with all of the other nations that
1:13:55
are more capitalist and democratic and so
1:13:57
forth. And then and only after we
1:13:59
have succeeded. at making the
1:14:01
Marxist Revolution in this one nation,
1:14:04
so we start thinking about being
1:14:06
more broadly, broadly internationalist. Now,
1:14:09
Dugan, though, I think the nationalism for him
1:14:11
is partly tactical because one of the things
1:14:14
that he has been doing in the
1:14:16
last 10 years, maybe 15 years
1:14:19
now, is broadening and
1:14:21
no longer just seeing that Russia,
1:14:24
in some sense, has a special
1:14:26
ethnic identity, that it is
1:14:28
the world historical nation that's going to lead
1:14:30
us to a bright and better future. He
1:14:33
started to talk more like
1:14:36
a pan-Eurasianist, that
1:14:39
the right level of analysis is
1:14:41
not Russia as a nation, but
1:14:43
more broadly, the Eurasian continent and
1:14:46
all of its constituent peoples. So
1:14:49
there we start to see him thinking
1:14:51
more in terms of empire, the old
1:14:53
Russian empire. Of course, Russia will have
1:14:55
a special place at that, but
1:14:58
you see him in his rhetoric and in
1:15:00
his arguments not wanting to say
1:15:04
that it's Russia, say, against
1:15:06
the Ukrainians or Russia against
1:15:08
the Kazakh nation and
1:15:11
so forth, that he wants to reincorporate all
1:15:13
of them into a pan-Eurasian
1:15:15
empire. And that's going to be
1:15:17
the right level of analysis. That's
1:15:20
what will be pitted
1:15:22
against the Western liberal alliance.
1:15:25
So that is, when I heard
1:15:27
the first Tucker interview with Putin,
1:15:30
I thought that's what he was going for. That's
1:15:32
what Putin was going for. He was setting the
1:15:34
stage for, well, we're actually
1:15:36
much bigger than
1:15:39
what everybody thinks of. And he's
1:15:41
setting the stage for a restoration
1:15:43
of the, not
1:15:47
the Soviet, but the imperial Russian empire, right?
1:15:49
So there is one thing,
1:15:51
and Stephen, we're so blessed to have you
1:15:53
for 45 minutes. I don't know if
1:15:56
you have any questions. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
1:15:58
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. time
1:16:00
tomorrow to do another session with
1:16:02
us because the next
1:16:04
part of Dugan is where
1:16:06
it goes way off the rails and
1:16:09
gets even more terrifying than fascism
1:16:12
without compromise and that
1:16:14
is his religious angles
1:16:18
that he puts on top of it where
1:16:20
he says the United States
1:16:22
is the Antichrist and
1:16:24
we can hate the
1:16:27
great Satan that we need to kind
1:16:29
of hasten the apocalypse
1:16:33
because it just won't happen on its
1:16:36
own and the world I mean this
1:16:38
sounds like a 12-er from
1:16:41
Iran but they need
1:16:43
to wash the world
1:16:45
in blood because it will only be through
1:16:47
extreme violence that will be able
1:16:49
to reset the world in
1:16:54
a world that we only saw
1:16:56
before modernity.
1:17:00
No, absolutely. Putin's
1:17:02
use of religion and Dugan's
1:17:04
ideological understanding of religion and
1:17:06
strategizing about religion certainly
1:17:08
worth another 45 minutes so we can
1:17:11
plan that if you want. Oh, I'd love to.
1:17:13
Love to. Thank you. Stephen, thank you so much
1:17:15
for everything you do and thanks for making this
1:17:17
easy to understand. Would
1:17:20
you agree that Dugan, if
1:17:24
you know he's the guy behind
1:17:26
Crimea, he's the really the
1:17:29
kind of the guy connecting Russia
1:17:31
to Iran and
1:17:33
his philosophy if it
1:17:35
actually takes root in
1:17:38
the West that I think
1:17:40
he's one of the most dangerous men in the world.
1:17:43
Would you agree with that? Well,
1:17:45
I think philosophers are
1:17:48
often underrated. We can
1:17:51
see John Locke's importance to the
1:17:54
American revolutionaries, Rousseau's importance to the
1:17:56
French revolutionaries, Marx's importance and so
1:17:58
on. So this is
1:18:01
a little crystal ball gazing, but
1:18:03
yes, Dugan is a clear inspirational
1:18:05
writer. I don't know what level
1:18:08
of access he has to Dugan's
1:18:10
inner circle and so forth. But
1:18:12
when you are speaking to thousands
1:18:14
and millions of alert, aspirational
1:18:18
idea, ideological people,
1:18:21
philosophers like Dugan can have an outsized
1:18:23
impact. So it's really important that we
1:18:25
get them right and understand exactly what
1:18:28
we're up against. It's amazing. I feel
1:18:30
a little like the Germans. I've never
1:18:32
understood, how could you possibly read Mein
1:18:34
Kampf and not know? I mean,
1:18:37
you knew, he said it, but I
1:18:39
think it's the human, it's human nature
1:18:41
to say, oh, well he didn't mean
1:18:43
that part or the, he'll never get
1:18:45
that done. And we've done
1:18:48
that with even COVID. I was on
1:18:50
the air four or six weeks before
1:18:52
it hit America saying, look at
1:18:55
what's happening in China. That would never
1:18:57
happen here. And pretty much it did.
1:19:01
So when we can't underestimate liberalism
1:19:03
and modernity in the West, one
1:19:05
of our great weaknesses is in
1:19:07
fact that we are sometimes naive, sometimes
1:19:10
benevolent and willing to give people the benefit
1:19:12
of the doubt. When they make it clear,
1:19:15
they don't deserve it. So
1:19:17
tomorrow we'll have you back same time,
1:19:20
Steven. And I want to concentrate on
1:19:22
his, what his definition of
1:19:24
modernity is because if it's, if it
1:19:26
is what I think it is, that
1:19:29
is a pre-enlightenment kind of
1:19:31
modernity, kind
1:19:34
of going back into some of the dark ages stuff
1:19:36
and his religious beliefs,
1:19:39
his connections to kind
1:19:41
of a Christian nationalism,
1:19:46
if you will, in a very, very
1:19:48
dark way. Okay. Perfect. So
1:19:50
we'll see you tomorrow then. Same time.
1:19:52
Thank you very much. Steven Hicks. Always
1:19:56
great to have him on. He
1:19:58
has a deep understanding. of
1:20:01
who Alexander Dugan is. If you watch that
1:20:04
episode from Tucker,
1:20:06
which I highly recommend, if
1:20:08
you watch that, know that you're
1:20:11
getting the soft side of
1:20:13
Alexander Dugan. That is his
1:20:15
opening pitch and
1:20:17
there are people in America that
1:20:20
follow him, like
1:20:22
him, believe many of the same
1:20:25
things. Quite honestly, Steve Bannon, I think, is
1:20:27
one of them, and
1:20:29
that's what makes Steve Bannon so
1:20:31
dangerous. He is
1:20:34
using some of his philosophies and buying
1:20:36
into some of those philosophies, and
1:20:39
as Christians, as
1:20:41
true Americans, we
1:20:43
cannot allow this to take
1:20:46
hold of any of
1:20:48
our churches or any of our people. Tomorrow
1:20:51
will be very important for you to listen to. Alright,
1:20:53
back with more in just a second. First, let me
1:20:55
tell you about Car Shield. One of
1:20:57
these days, and it might not even be
1:20:59
that long from now, that check engine light
1:21:01
is going to come on. You know it
1:21:03
and I know it, and when it does,
1:21:05
you're going to be facing possibly huge, crippling
1:21:07
repair costs. Fortunately, for almost
1:21:10
two decades, Car Shield
1:21:12
has been helping millions of drivers avoid
1:21:14
the stress of major repairs. They offer
1:21:16
plans covering up to 5,000 parts for
1:21:18
your systems, from your engine to your
1:21:20
transmission to the electronics and more. All
1:21:22
of those things are crippling if they
1:21:24
happen. A low monthly rate
1:21:27
that will fit your budget, they
1:21:29
have that plan for you, Car
1:21:31
Shield. It includes unlimited miles, 24-hour
1:21:34
roadside assistance, rental options. I've had
1:21:37
Car Shield now for the trucks. I wish I could show
1:21:39
them to you. They're sitting right in front of me, looking
1:21:42
at the studio out the window. These are
1:21:44
trucks that are, you know, from the 1990s
1:21:47
and have a billion miles on them, I don't
1:21:49
ever want to replace them. I just want
1:21:51
them to be able to transport hay and
1:21:54
everything else from one part of the ranch
1:21:56
to the other. Well, they've
1:21:58
saved me on just one truck. $7,000 or $8,000 on
1:22:00
a repair Uza chip. Thank
1:22:04
God. Car Shield, thank
1:22:06
you. Car shield.com/Beck, 800-227-6100. Car
1:22:11
shield.com/Beck. You're
1:22:15
listening to the Glenn Beck program. And
1:22:29
wealth is the Patriots choice in wealth
1:22:31
management. If you've got a few hundred
1:22:33
thousand dollars and you've got it in
1:22:35
investments, you've got it locked up
1:22:38
and you're looking toward the future and you're thinking to
1:22:40
yourself, well, how do I grow my nest egg? But
1:22:44
also do that while avoiding
1:22:46
supporting the types of businesses
1:22:49
that I might avoid at a convenience store
1:22:51
when I'm avoiding a Bud Light or I'm
1:22:53
avoiding the movie theater or avoiding Disney movies
1:22:55
or whatever you're doing. How can
1:22:58
you do both of those things? It's not easy when it
1:23:00
comes to your investments. That's why Constitution wealth exists, basically.
1:23:02
They looked at this and they said, wait a minute. We
1:23:05
actually believe in this country. We believe in the
1:23:08
principles of the founding of this country. We want
1:23:10
to support that. But like skipping
1:23:12
a six pack is great. However, it's not
1:23:14
going to do nearly as much to fight
1:23:16
ESG or DEI as you can by taking
1:23:18
a giant chunk of money
1:23:20
and the voting rights away from these
1:23:22
woke companies. You can reduce
1:23:25
your investments in woke corporations. You can do
1:23:27
that while still helping to
1:23:29
fight the culture war by
1:23:31
helping the parallel economy and
1:23:33
by increasing your investment nest egg
1:23:35
for the future. You want to
1:23:37
do that. You want to do it with a
1:23:39
Constitution wealth. These are great people. They're patriots just
1:23:41
like you. They understand what you're trying to do
1:23:44
here and they're specifically designed to help
1:23:46
you do it. Constitution

1:25:36

1:25:38

get to the really spooky stuff
1:25:43
of Alexander Do Gun and his
1:25:45
connections to Around and the house
1:25:48
he sees. This all
1:25:50
unfolding. God help us
1:25:52
all as tomorrow. for
1:25:56
glenn beck program It's
1:26:13
time for
1:26:18
my living In
1:26:21
an respect of
1:26:24
my good, it's not time
1:26:32
for me to hold it up It's
1:26:35
time for me to hold it up Welcome
1:26:45
to the fusion of
1:26:48
entertainment and enlightenment This
1:26:53
is the Glenn Beck program Hello
1:26:59
America, welcome to the Glenn Beck program This
1:27:01
hour we're going to talk a little bit
1:27:04
about NPR's CEO Christopher
1:27:06
Rufo came out and said, there
1:27:08
might be something a little more nefarious happening
1:27:11
here If he's right, it's
1:27:15
quite disturbing Especially
1:27:17
since she is the head, the
1:27:19
CEO of NPR We'll
1:27:21
find out all the details coming up beginning in
1:27:24
60 seconds first Let
1:27:26
me tell you about our sponsor, the Cephauer,
1:27:28
it's realestateagentsitrust.com It is an underappreciated
1:27:30
fact that trust is really hard
1:27:32
to come by In the
1:27:35
world of business, pretty much any business, that might
1:27:37
go double When
1:27:39
you're trying to sell your home, buy a new home, or
1:27:41
even worse, the both at the same time It's
1:27:44
so important that the real estate agent
1:27:46
that you're doing business with is someone
1:27:48
you can trust Someone who listens to
1:27:51
you, somebody who knows the market Somebody,
1:27:53
honestly, if you're buying, somebody who
1:27:55
knows what houses are kind of
1:27:58
for sale, if you ask, right and
1:28:01
somebody who just knows... Let
1:28:04
me put it this way. Somebody who doesn't say, Ah,
1:28:07
excuse me, we don't
1:28:10
use the term master bedroom
1:28:12
anymore. Shut up. I
1:28:15
need somebody that's going to help me and knows
1:28:17
all of the best practices and those are the
1:28:19
real estate agents you will find from
1:28:22
realestateagentsitrust.com. Whether you're working
1:28:25
or selling and buying across the street or
1:28:27
across the country, we can help you
1:28:29
find the right real estate
1:28:31
agent. It's realestateagentsitrust.com.
1:28:37
Alright, so I want
1:28:39
to go over this NPR boss, which
1:28:41
was kind of funny at the
1:28:43
beginning. And then the
1:28:45
more you learn about her, the more you're
1:28:47
like, Well, now hang on just a second,
1:28:49
because she would be a very important tool
1:28:53
in the hands of the government and she's being
1:28:55
paid by national public
1:28:57
radio. So she
1:29:00
is a tool of the
1:29:02
government in many ways. Can
1:29:04
she separate herself from
1:29:06
her own personal beliefs? Or
1:29:10
is that even wanted at
1:29:12
NPR? We wanted to
1:29:14
bring in Joe McKinnon. Joe
1:29:17
is a Blaze News staff writer and he has
1:29:19
been following up on this. Joe, take
1:29:21
us from the beginning, from
1:29:26
the whistleblower, if
1:29:28
you will, all the way to
1:29:30
Christopher Rufo and then let's pick
1:29:32
it up from there. So
1:29:34
can you tell us the beginning of it, Joe? Absolutely. Thanks
1:29:37
for having me on. So Yuri
1:29:39
Berliner earlier this month has
1:29:42
this damning expose in
1:29:45
the free press, April 9th. He
1:29:47
goes after NPR after having worked there
1:29:49
for a quarter of a century as
1:29:51
a senior business editor. He
1:29:54
suggests that there's zero viewpoint
1:29:56
diversity, particularly after John Lanskin,
1:29:58
the White House. former
1:30:00
CEO had made
1:30:02
it an activist organization and then
1:30:05
allied it effectively with the Democratic Party.
1:30:08
This is a publication according to
1:30:10
Berliner that didn't want to cover
1:30:12
the Hunter Biden laptop story, that
1:30:14
worked with Adam Schiff to push
1:30:17
the Russian collusion hopes. So he
1:30:19
goes to town on NPR and
1:30:21
draws the ire of someone who's
1:30:23
not been on a lot of
1:30:26
people's radar and that's Catherine Mayer
1:30:29
or Meyer I should say. So
1:30:31
Meyer comes up with this long response
1:30:35
and effectively passes him
1:30:37
out with
1:30:39
some more charitable terms and subsequently
1:30:42
Berliner is suspended and
1:30:45
then he resigns. So people
1:30:47
start looking into Meyer after after
1:30:49
this because she was with
1:30:51
Wikipedia before but I guess you know
1:30:54
flew under the radar for a lot
1:30:56
particularly on the right or those among
1:30:59
those who are critical of the government. And
1:31:02
at first blush she
1:31:04
looks just like another shrill leftist.
1:31:06
She has the obligatory photo wearing
1:31:09
the Biden campaign hat and she has
1:31:11
an unhealthy obsession with race. So
1:31:14
that photo exists and the
1:31:16
tweets speak for themselves but
1:31:19
you keep digging as Rufo has
1:31:21
and you realize really quickly that
1:31:23
there's something more going on here.
1:31:26
From 30,000 feet she looks
1:31:28
like not just a tech
1:31:30
savvy media queen but someone who
1:31:33
spent a lot of time around color revolutions
1:31:35
and the Orient enough to know
1:31:37
how they might be replicated. Okay
1:31:40
so hang on just a second folks
1:31:42
the campuses and boardrooms are full of
1:31:44
leftists but
1:31:46
you're saying and Christopher Rufo is saying she
1:31:49
is not your ordinary leftist
1:31:51
she's been around color revolutions.
1:31:54
What does that mean she's been around color
1:31:56
revolutions? Okay so one of
1:32:00
the many interesting posts she's
1:32:02
had. And I should note at the
1:32:05
outset here that she's a World
1:32:07
Economic Forum global leader. She's worked
1:32:09
with the World Bank. She's
1:32:12
worked with various NGOs
1:32:14
that are in the tech
1:32:17
comms and well,
1:32:20
foreign policy space. So around
1:32:22
2010, 2011,
1:32:24
and the Nufal chronicled her
1:32:27
travel itinerary, she's with
1:32:29
the National Democratic Institute. And
1:32:32
that's a spinoff of the National Endowment for
1:32:34
Democracy committed to,
1:32:36
yeah, exactly. Well, you know where
1:32:39
I'm going with this. This is
1:32:41
an organization that tries to transition
1:32:45
unwilling regimes to
1:32:47
become liberal democracies. Now,
1:32:49
let me, can I redefine that a
1:32:51
little bit? It's a
1:32:53
CIA front. Well,
1:32:56
Mike Benz, he was in the
1:32:58
Trump administration at the State Department.
1:33:00
He said exactly that. He said
1:33:02
to carve out for the CIA.
1:33:04
And other people have said just
1:33:06
as much. In fact, I
1:33:09
think it was Ron Dixon at
1:33:11
the New York Times back when
1:33:13
he said the NDI was actively
1:33:16
fomenting protests during the so-called
1:33:18
Arab Spring. So we know this. I
1:33:20
exposed that when we were at Fox. We've
1:33:27
known that from the beginning. It didn't take
1:33:29
a brain surgeon to figure this out. Then
1:33:31
when you go into Ukraine and see
1:33:34
what they were doing and
1:33:36
the phrases that they were using saying,
1:33:39
you know, we can spread this now.
1:33:41
We kind of perfected it in
1:33:43
the Middle East and we can spread
1:33:46
it. And that's exactly what we were
1:33:48
doing in Ukraine. Well,
1:33:51
precisely. Ukraine, Libya, Egypt,
1:33:53
Yemen, Tunisia. And so
1:33:56
she's kind of not a pilgrimage to
1:33:58
these toppled regimes. in some
1:34:01
cases as they're falling. So
1:34:03
Rufo notes that she
1:34:05
hosted Tunisia a couple times. She hosted
1:34:07
Gethin Tep in Southern Turkey,
1:34:10
just as rebels are making
1:34:12
inroads along the highway between
1:34:14
Damascus and I believe it was Aleppo. And
1:34:17
she actually said not long ago that
1:34:19
she, well, she framed the timing
1:34:23
differently, but she said in the
1:34:25
aftermath of the revolutions, she was
1:34:27
doing research on the ground with
1:34:29
quote unquote human rights activists and
1:34:31
independent journalists. And so
1:34:33
she's with the NBI, she's going to
1:34:36
Tunisia and she
1:34:38
raised a couple of alarm bells.
1:34:41
So there's this Tunisian cabinet official.
1:34:44
And well, he
1:34:46
basically, well, he
1:34:48
didn't intimate, he straight out said it's
1:34:50
a likely case that she works for
1:34:53
a certain three letter agency.
1:34:55
And a lot
1:34:58
of people have been speculating about that in recent weeks.
1:35:02
So what is her background
1:35:04
in broadcast and news? Well,
1:35:10
she deals a lot with comms. In
1:35:13
terms of news, she's been critical
1:35:15
of the ways that governments have
1:35:18
weaponized their state broadcasters,
1:35:21
which I think is rich granted. Right,
1:35:24
yeah. Progressions are career. Yes,
1:35:27
but what does she, I mean, does she have a background
1:35:29
in news? Is
1:35:31
she a journalist? Is she, I mean,
1:35:34
why is she, I mean, I see
1:35:36
that she's traveled the world, that she's
1:35:38
with the World Bank and the WEF
1:35:41
and she's been with NGOs and
1:35:43
she's been around revolutions, but that
1:35:45
doesn't necessarily scream CEO of
1:35:48
NPR. Well,
1:35:50
I think Wikimedia and Wikipedia,
1:35:54
which she ran the show for for several years, she
1:35:57
demonstrated her bond. Yeah, her bond.
1:36:00
and it was under
1:36:02
her reign that it
1:36:04
quickly became clear that this was
1:36:06
well it's supposed to
1:36:08
be a repository for human knowledge right? You know
1:36:11
recently you talked about how
1:36:13
memory is the key to who we are.
1:36:16
Well Wikipedia is instrumental
1:36:19
to capturing and curating that
1:36:21
memory for a lot of people so
1:36:23
she might not be a journalist
1:36:25
but she was very much, well
1:36:27
I don't want to suggest there's a
1:36:30
causation issue. She pretends that you know
1:36:32
the Wikipedia editors are working on their
1:36:34
own but while she's in control
1:36:36
there's very much a narrative curation going
1:36:39
on the kind that you
1:36:41
might want at taxpayer-funded
1:36:44
state broadcast. Jeez
1:36:48
okay so the
1:36:51
rumor that she's with CIA where
1:36:53
did that originate? So
1:36:55
I mentioned she went to Tunisia a
1:36:58
couple times right? Okay. So this cabinet
1:37:00
official is named Slim Amamou. I
1:37:02
think I'm pronouncing that right but
1:37:04
Slim says in 2016 that
1:37:07
it's a bit of a retrospective he's looking
1:37:09
back and I believe it is
1:37:11
around the time that she is getting a promotion
1:37:13
over at Wikipedia. He
1:37:15
straight up says that
1:37:17
she's probably CIA. He's
1:37:20
not mints and warrants. He says
1:37:22
she's come over under different affiliations
1:37:24
with the NDI, with World Bank,
1:37:26
with USAID and
1:37:28
he suggests, this is
1:37:30
going on at Twitter at the time, still called
1:37:33
that, he suggests that
1:37:35
she might as well have had CIA written
1:37:37
on her firm and
1:37:39
so Slim was in the
1:37:42
transitional government. He dropped out to
1:37:44
protest so-called censorship and
1:37:47
he you know not entirely the
1:37:50
top of the food chain but someone you might
1:37:52
at least want to hear out and
1:37:55
so she is prickle by the suggestion.
1:37:58
She responds saying I'm
1:38:01
no sort of agent. You can dislike
1:38:03
me, but please don't defame me. But
1:38:06
then, you know, that brought even
1:38:08
more scrutiny because people took
1:38:10
notice of the way she framed that
1:38:12
response. So Christina Pasha, she's on the
1:38:14
scientist team, she noted, for instance, okay,
1:38:16
well, you may not have been an
1:38:19
agent, but you could just as
1:38:21
well have been an asset. But
1:38:24
the CIA element, I
1:38:26
think, you know, I haven't
1:38:28
seen any incontrovertible proof. It's
1:38:31
also largely immaterial
1:38:34
because she's actually directly worked with
1:38:36
the Biden administration. She's
1:38:38
worked with and brushed shoulders with all
1:38:41
these regime change groups.
1:38:43
So whether or not she has
1:38:45
a CIA and a card somewhere
1:38:47
tucked in her desk, she
1:38:50
might as well have been. And
1:38:52
this is part of the group that,
1:38:54
I mean, Hillary Clinton in that infamous
1:38:57
clip where she said, we came, we
1:38:59
saw, he died, and laughed
1:39:01
about it. I think who she
1:39:03
was talking to at the time might have been
1:39:05
Samantha Power, who
1:39:07
is, you know, Cass Sunstein's wife,
1:39:10
the author of Nudge, and somebody
1:39:12
who knows how to nudge people
1:39:14
into new positions. But
1:39:17
Sam now works at USAID. She's
1:39:20
the head of USAID. So if
1:39:22
you have the head of
1:39:25
NPR also working with
1:39:27
Samantha Power at USAID, that is
1:39:29
also a CIA front.
1:39:34
Oh, absolutely. And I think it was Michael
1:39:37
Waller in the Rufal piece. He's a national
1:39:40
security analyst. And he said
1:39:42
he drew that same connection
1:39:44
with power and intimated
1:39:47
that Meyer is
1:39:49
part of this revolutionary vanguard
1:39:51
movement. So, you know, they're
1:39:53
all in bed together by the by the looks
1:39:55
of it, I should say, a little bit of
1:39:58
distance because I don't want to mean tweet. But
1:40:01
and then you couple this
1:40:03
with her even
1:40:07
more gravity to this, well,
1:40:11
her becoming the head of NPR, which was giving
1:40:13
me some of her, give me some of her
1:40:15
public comments that I may not know. Okay,
1:40:18
well, I did a little
1:40:20
bit of a deep dive. A
1:40:22
lot of these already are circulating.
1:40:24
But but they're all troubling. So,
1:40:27
for instance, in a 2021 interview,
1:40:29
and this one has caught a lot of people's attention
1:40:31
in recent days, she described the
1:40:33
First Amendment as the top challenge
1:40:35
in the fight against disinformation. So
1:40:38
it's a challenge. Yeah, yeah,
1:40:40
yeah, that's right. It's a
1:40:42
challenge because, quote, it's
1:40:45
a little bit tricky to really address
1:40:47
some of the real challenges of where
1:40:49
does that information come from and sort
1:40:51
of the influence petal petalers who have
1:40:53
made a real market economy around it. And
1:40:56
by the way, when she's talking about disinformation, she
1:40:59
means skepticism of COVID-19
1:41:01
vaccines, which I write in
1:41:04
the lead up to the show
1:41:06
that was mentioned that AstraZeneca just
1:41:08
admitted that is devastating impact.
1:41:11
Well, no, so that's disinformation, according to
1:41:14
the former head of Wikipedia. She
1:41:16
also climate alarmism, that's a no
1:41:19
fly for her. So
1:41:21
at an Atlantic Council 2021 event, she says,
1:41:26
Wikipedia isn't a free expression
1:41:28
platform. And so that a lot
1:41:30
of people are wondering why. And she
1:41:33
suggests, it's
1:41:35
really about creating content that people can have
1:41:37
confidence in, that they can use
1:41:39
to make determinations in their lives. And
1:41:41
so that right to have access to
1:41:43
high integrity content often sort of
1:41:45
trumps the right to free speech. Now,
1:41:48
pair that with the fact
1:41:50
that she suggests straight
1:41:53
out in a TED Talk that,
1:41:56
quote, our reverence for the
1:41:58
truth might be a distract. And they're
1:42:01
setting away a finding common ground and
1:42:03
getting things done. So I
1:42:05
don't know who that common ground belongs to by the
1:42:07
way, but it certainly isn't free
1:42:09
people. Yeah, yeah,
1:42:12
that's fantastic. Okay, I'm
1:42:15
going to come back. Let me take one minute
1:42:17
to break for a sponsor. And then I want
1:42:19
to come back and I want to ask you,
1:42:21
so if she was a
1:42:23
tool even a little bit
1:42:25
in color revolution, what is
1:42:28
the fear that she could do or what
1:42:30
is the impact she could have here in
1:42:32
America by being the
1:42:34
CEO of NPR? Back in
1:42:36
just a second, stand by. Let's
1:42:39
say that you had an employee and here's
1:42:42
what he did. He spent too much of
1:42:44
the company's money, a bunch of which he
1:42:46
actually stole. In fact, he ran the company
1:42:48
into huge, huge debt
1:42:50
where there was no turning back from it, ensuring
1:42:52
that stock was worth less and less every day
1:42:55
until the whole thing went belly
1:42:57
up. On top of that, he was a jerk
1:42:59
about it to all the other employees beneath him.
1:43:02
What would you do with that employee? You fire
1:43:04
them, right? Well, we don't do
1:43:06
that. We call it Congress. We call it
1:43:08
the administration. We call it the Fed or
1:43:10
the Treasury. And we are all supposed
1:43:12
to listen to them. And they keep
1:43:14
doing these things. We know they're
1:43:16
doing these things. And
1:43:19
yet we keep coming back to them and saying,
1:43:21
okay, how are you going to fix it? How
1:43:24
are they going to fix it? The fix is
1:43:26
already in. Stop listening to those people. I
1:43:28
want you to seriously consider gold or
1:43:31
silver. There was a story in today's
1:43:33
show prep at gunbeck.com about
1:43:35
how China and the Chinese are just
1:43:37
buying gold like crazy. They're going on
1:43:40
these vacations over to India and
1:43:42
they are just coming back with buckets
1:43:45
of gold that they bought. They
1:43:47
know in China that that
1:43:49
is the only hedge against
1:43:51
insanity. Well, I
1:43:54
think we're in the land of insanity. We
1:43:57
are now borrowing one trillion
1:43:59
dollars. million every 100 days. They

1:44:37
in just a minute. 10 seconds. So
1:44:49
we're talking to Joe McKinnon who
1:44:51
has written extensively for the Blaze
1:44:53
News. You can go to blaze.com
1:44:55
and find his work on NPR's
1:44:58
CEO who is looking to be far worse
1:45:00
than what anybody thought she was. We just
1:45:03
thought she was a crazy liberal or
1:45:05
progressive but she
1:45:08
seems to be possibly much more
1:45:10
than that including possibly working
1:45:12
with the CIA. But she
1:45:15
spent a lot of time around color revolutions.
1:45:18
We'll talk about that coming up in the next
1:45:20
break. But I just wanted to ask you, Joe, before you go,
1:45:22
what is the impact if this
1:45:24
is true that she could have
1:45:27
with NPR at her disposal? NPR
1:45:31
has long been a joke. It's
1:45:35
ineffective. It's viewership
1:45:37
has dwindled immensely. She
1:45:40
is shrewd. She is effective. This
1:45:43
is an individual who had people believing
1:45:45
that cultural Marxism is a far right
1:45:48
conspiracy theory when she was running Wikipedia.
1:45:52
All the insights she has gleaned when
1:45:54
she was doing her pilgrimage
1:45:56
of fallen states and
1:45:59
her understanding that capture of
1:46:01
a state broadcaster could
1:46:04
ultimately mean capture of the state means
1:46:07
that NPR is a weapon in our
1:46:09
hands, potentially a weapon
1:46:11
in our hands. There's over a
1:46:13
thousand stations broadcasting its NPR programming,
1:46:15
there's thousands of employees, a bunch
1:46:18
of bureaus across the country. Now
1:46:21
I don't think they're going to do business as
1:46:23
usual, in fact she's telegraphed that there's going to
1:46:25
be a transformation behind the scenes. NPR
1:46:29
was already a leftist propaganda
1:46:31
outlet, now I
1:46:34
think it's going to be
1:46:36
used to ferment or
1:46:38
at the very least control the
1:46:42
protest and to at
1:46:44
least have the power to
1:46:47
weaponize various groups across the
1:46:49
nation. You send your marching
1:46:51
orders essentially out via NPR.
1:46:54
So Wikipedia, and I'm surprised
1:46:56
you left Wikipedia honestly because I
1:46:59
think that's the more consequential place,
1:47:01
but Wikipedia controls the past and
1:47:04
therefore can control
1:47:07
the future. Yes. I think NPR,
1:47:09
under her helm, I think
1:47:12
the aim anyway is controlling
1:47:14
the present. Joseph
1:47:17
McKinnon from theblaze.com, thank you so
1:47:19
much. We're going to go a
1:47:21
little deeper in this
1:47:23
direction and really talk about color
1:47:26
revolution in just
1:47:28
a minute when we
1:47:30
come back. Stand by.
1:47:32
You know, we
1:47:35
don't build a parallel economy because
1:47:38
we're glad that it's necessary. I wish it
1:47:40
wasn't. I miss the old days when doing
1:47:43
business wasn't some sort of political statement,
1:47:46
but sadly that's how the world works
1:47:48
right now and too many companies have
1:47:50
swung for the fences with their
1:47:53
leftist Marxist wokeism. There
1:47:57
is many
1:48:01
organizations and many companies that love
1:48:03
America. They love Republicans and they
1:48:06
love Democrats. They like freedom. They
1:48:08
like the Bill of Rights. There
1:48:11
is one, however, that stands way out
1:48:13
in front of the rest and that
1:48:15
is Patriot Mobile. They're America's
1:48:18
only Christian conservative mobile phone company
1:48:20
and their mission is
1:48:22
to serve and defend our God-given
1:48:24
constitutional rights and freedom and
1:48:27
they also deliver great cell
1:48:29
phone service. You're on the same three networks,
1:48:31
they're on the same towers, so you're gonna
1:48:34
get the same coverage, you're gonna get a
1:48:36
better price and people who are
1:48:38
in the fight with you. You
1:48:40
keep your phone, upgrade your
1:48:42
phone or your number, you
1:48:45
can do it, whatever you
1:48:47
want. It's patriotmobile.com/bet. patriotmobile.com/bet. 972
1:48:51
Patriot. Back in a minute with more.
1:49:07
Jason Butrill is the
1:49:10
former Department of Defense intelligence analyst.
1:49:12
He is also my head writer
1:49:14
for television, head researcher for
1:49:18
all of my programs and he joins me
1:49:20
now because we are talking about the
1:49:23
CEO of NPR
1:49:26
possibly in position
1:49:28
to work
1:49:33
in an organized way to
1:49:35
foment a color revolution and if you don't
1:49:38
know what a color revolution is, Jason can
1:49:40
you explain quickly what that is and then
1:49:42
I'll go through the pillars. Color
1:49:44
revolutions usually happen around elections
1:49:46
in other countries. Yeah
1:49:49
typically always like after an election usually or just
1:49:51
before an elections when it's fomented but that's when
1:49:53
all of a sudden you'll
1:49:55
see like what are supposedly grassroots movements.
1:49:57
I use that in quote or quotes.
1:50:00
that spontaneously show up and
1:50:02
they'll use the turmoil that's
1:50:04
happening around them to force
1:50:06
regime change. Okay
1:50:09
so we've gone over
1:50:12
this many many times because it
1:50:14
is apparent that at least
1:50:16
to me that that is really
1:50:18
what is being prepared here
1:50:21
in America and
1:50:23
they really tried this out
1:50:25
with with other countries and
1:50:27
perfected it and I think they're using it
1:50:29
now on us. The former ambassador to Russia
1:50:32
under Barack Obama was Michael
1:50:34
McFall and he came up
1:50:37
with the seven pillars of
1:50:39
color revolution, the seven steps
1:50:41
needed to incite the type
1:50:43
of revolution used to up
1:50:45
and the European countries and the countries
1:50:47
in the Middle East and this is our
1:50:50
this is our deal and
1:50:52
a lot of the same people that were involved
1:50:54
in coming up with this and executing it in
1:50:57
the Middle East are now
1:50:59
in positions of power. So
1:51:01
you need seven
1:51:04
pillars to pull this off. The first
1:51:07
thing is you need the presence of
1:51:09
a semi-autocratic regime. It can't be a
1:51:11
full dictatorship, it's got to be semi.
1:51:13
It provides the the
1:51:16
the opportunity to use
1:51:18
propaganda and to paint whoever
1:51:20
it is you want to paint as a
1:51:22
fascist. Now they'd never did that
1:51:24
to Donald Trump. I don't ever remember them calling
1:51:26
him a fascist or Nazi or Hitler or anything
1:51:29
like that but they use
1:51:31
that with a guy who
1:51:33
is powerful and say he's
1:51:35
the next Hitler. Number
1:51:37
two, appearance of
1:51:39
an unpopular president or incumbent
1:51:42
leader. This is
1:51:44
created through manipulative propaganda
1:51:46
and information and psychological
1:51:48
warfare. We know we have
1:51:51
the document showing that
1:51:53
our government is involved in
1:51:56
cognitive warfare on
1:51:58
the American people. So
1:52:00
you've got a president and
1:52:02
the media through propaganda just
1:52:05
keeps making him look worse and worse and
1:52:07
worse. Look at the trials that are going
1:52:09
on. Then you
1:52:11
also need, the third pillar is
1:52:13
a united and organized opposition, Antifa,
1:52:17
the Palestinians, BLM.
1:52:21
Then you need a compliant media
1:52:24
to push all
1:52:26
of these narratives and at the
1:52:28
right time the voter fraud narrative.
1:52:31
Have you noticed that the media is
1:52:33
again, you couldn't question it before,
1:52:35
but they pushed it
1:52:37
last time that Trump was going to
1:52:39
steal the election and they're
1:52:41
pushing it again this time that Trump
1:52:43
is trying to steal the election. Five,
1:52:48
or sorry, six, political
1:52:50
opposition organization able
1:52:52
to mobilize thousands to millions in
1:52:55
the streets. Do we have that?
1:52:58
Yes. And then
1:53:00
seven is division among the military
1:53:02
and the police. They both have
1:53:04
to be in
1:53:07
some sort of chaos. So
1:53:09
you can swing some of them your
1:53:12
way. Well, this is exactly
1:53:14
what we are looking
1:53:16
at in the United States and that
1:53:18
is the way we have toppled regimes
1:53:21
all over the world. They're all called
1:53:23
color revolutions. And I believe that
1:53:26
is what we are facing now,
1:53:29
that there is a source inside of our
1:53:31
own government that which makes it much, much
1:53:34
worse, that is using
1:53:36
all of these pillars as assets
1:53:38
to flip the United States of
1:53:41
America. Did
1:53:43
I miss anything there, Jason? Oh
1:53:45
man, we could go on for four hours just
1:53:47
going through some of the shows that we were
1:53:49
pointing out. It was back in around 2020 when
1:53:51
we were first talking about this.
1:53:55
I don't even know where to begin. It's interesting that
1:53:57
you talked about cognitive warfare because that was brought out
1:53:59
in the the Twitter files, I
1:54:01
think it was Michael Schellenberg's people, released
1:54:04
a lot of that. And they had direct
1:54:06
quotes from the people within
1:54:08
the government or the people the government
1:54:10
were contracting to go
1:54:12
after misinformation, disinformation, and silence them
1:54:15
on social media. Some
1:54:17
of the quotes said, I cannot believe
1:54:19
we're doing what we did in foreign
1:54:21
countries, the foreign adversaries, now to
1:54:23
the American people. They were shocked about it, but they
1:54:25
were just kind of joking about it. I mean, this
1:54:28
is what you're describing is
1:54:30
pretty much something that started off as something called Civil
1:54:32
Society 2.0. That
1:54:35
was a State Department initiative under
1:54:37
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to
1:54:39
physically go out to some of
1:54:42
these places that they identify and
1:54:44
teach activists how to use media
1:54:47
and information to
1:54:49
manipulate the masses. It's
1:54:52
amazing. In
1:54:54
Ukraine, we have the
1:54:56
videotape of the State
1:54:58
Department actually going out and
1:55:01
doing those classes
1:55:04
to foment revolution. It's
1:55:06
incredible. It's like
1:55:08
they weren't hiding it at all in Ukraine.
1:55:10
Oh, absolutely not. No, they
1:55:12
bracked about it. They called them something
1:55:15
called tech camps that
1:55:17
started going out, I think it
1:55:19
was around Now this is
1:55:21
where it gets even crazier, Glenn. So
1:55:24
in 2010, about three or four
1:55:26
months before the official start date
1:55:29
of the Arab Spring, President
1:55:31
Obama issued a presidential study directive. It
1:55:33
was Presidential Study Directive 11. To
1:55:37
this day, you cannot read
1:55:39
it. It is still classified
1:55:41
after all the years. We
1:55:43
begged the Trump administration to declassify that and
1:55:46
it just fell on deaf ears and it
1:55:48
is really important. political
1:56:00
reform in the Middle East and Northern
1:56:02
Africa. Again, like three or four months
1:56:04
before the Arab Spring. The Arab Spring
1:56:06
kicks off, these tech camps in Civil
1:56:08
Society 2.0 start popping up all over
1:56:10
Northern Africa and the Middle East. What
1:56:12
do you have? Not
1:56:14
only that, but we were training some of them, some
1:56:17
of these NGOs and activists, here in the United States.
1:56:19
We were training them here in the United States. Then
1:56:22
they go back to their countries. People
1:56:24
like this NPR chick,
1:56:26
Amar, apparently,
1:56:28
allegedly, sounds like she was one of them that was kind
1:56:31
of checking up on this. I don't know that for certain,
1:56:33
but it sounds like it. So one
1:56:35
of the things, once you have the seven pillars, there
1:56:37
are steps that you have to take and see if you
1:56:39
think any of these are happening or have happened. You
1:56:42
have to consolidate media
1:56:45
control. Done. And
1:56:47
you have to weaponize it. Done. You
1:56:50
then have to suppress and
1:56:53
remove religion. The
1:56:55
next thing you have to do is make sure you
1:56:58
have control of the educational
1:57:00
system to indoctrinate the children
1:57:03
on the revolution and on
1:57:06
your ideology to be able to
1:57:08
overthrow. The next
1:57:10
thing is criminal justice overhaul.
1:57:13
Criminals go free while law-abiding citizens
1:57:15
are arrested and charged with crimes.
1:57:17
I mean, come on. Serious.
1:57:21
I mean, how do you say we're
1:57:24
not doing a color revolution? I
1:57:27
mean, it just happens to be the
1:57:29
list that we're doing and
1:57:31
it also happens to be the list of
1:57:33
the color revolution steps, but
1:57:35
it's not happening here in America. Definitely
1:57:37
not. Yeah, it's insane.
1:57:41
Doing those types of things at other
1:57:43
locations that they see are ripe to,
1:57:45
again, control masses to get the form
1:57:47
of government they want. Then you see
1:57:50
certain things like the Biden
1:57:53
administration paying TikTokers
1:57:55
and other social media people
1:57:57
to basically. basically
1:58:01
drive the narrative in the direction the
1:58:03
regime wants them to. I mean, that's
1:58:05
exactly Civil Society 2.0 and
1:58:08
tech camps. Exactly, to the T. And then
1:58:10
you get something like, you know,
1:58:12
if this is true about NPR, I mean,
1:58:14
it doesn't get any bigger as far as
1:58:16
the amount of people that you can, you
1:58:18
know, manipulate. People trust NPR. Like, people for
1:58:20
a while were like, oh, they were both
1:58:22
sides, you know, like, I can listen to
1:58:24
NPR. Sure, there's a lot of
1:58:26
lefty stuff in there, but, you know, it's government
1:58:28
funded. I mean, obviously, I would
1:58:31
not agree that they're not biased,
1:58:33
but I mean, many people would. So
1:58:35
if they're directing the narrative in a certain
1:58:37
way, again, that is exactly what was happening
1:58:39
in foreign governments. But now it's happening here.
1:58:41
So what makes them different or why is
1:58:43
this, I mean, Katherine Meyer,
1:58:46
she's the CEO of NPR. And
1:58:49
if she is that player, what makes
1:58:52
her and NPR more dangerous than MSNBC
1:58:54
and CNN, who are all just going
1:58:56
along with it anyway? I
1:58:58
mean, I would put it on the same level
1:59:01
as CNN maybe because again, CNN was considered like
1:59:03
a used to be considered,
1:59:05
you know, an even
1:59:07
broker neutral. Yeah. MSNBC,
1:59:09
I would say, is not on that level because MSNBC, they
1:59:12
only try to hide it. You know, they are what they
1:59:14
are. They're biased. Okay,
1:59:16
whatever. But if you're going through like NPR
1:59:19
or if you're going through random, you
1:59:22
know, influencers on social media, you
1:59:24
don't know that they're biased. It's
1:59:28
just a common will of the people, right?
1:59:31
You start to get a narrative of this is the
1:59:33
direction the country is going in. This is how we
1:59:35
should think. This is what we should do. And that's
1:59:37
when it starts getting really dangerous when you have millions
1:59:40
of people going in that direction. But it's
1:59:42
all a facade. It's all being orchestrated at the
1:59:44
top to make people think a certain way.
1:59:48
It really is a genius strategy
1:59:50
that they devised, again, supposedly
1:59:53
are supposed to go in other
1:59:55
foreign countries. But now, is
1:59:58
that what's happening here? I mean, the In
2:00:00
case you laid out, this makes it sound like
2:00:02
it's exactly what's happening here. Another thing of interest,
2:00:04
the guy that wrote that, the seven pillars, the
2:00:06
Michael McFall, he was never
2:00:08
a diplomat. He
2:00:11
just kind of strolled into the
2:00:13
Obama administration. He was a Stanford
2:00:15
academic and then suddenly got
2:00:17
the most prestigious job in the
2:00:19
entire State Department, the
2:00:21
ambassador to Russia in
2:00:23
Moscow. And then when he was
2:00:25
asked right when he first showed up by
2:00:28
Russian journalists, like, what are
2:00:30
your qualifications? He's like, ah, well, you know, basically
2:00:32
I'm paraphrasing. I don't really, you know, I'm not
2:00:35
one with all that diplomat stuff, but I'm
2:00:37
an expert on democracy and quote revolution.
2:00:42
Okay. So, Jason,
2:00:45
we have done so many shows on
2:00:47
this and as
2:00:50
always, we will hit
2:00:52
something and we'll drill down into it
2:00:54
and we'll always say, oh, what
2:00:57
a surprise. Look at who
2:00:59
we found. And it's the same circle
2:01:01
of people over and over again.
2:01:05
I would love for you to maybe post
2:01:08
online or at glenbeck.com the links
2:01:10
to all of the shows that
2:01:13
we explained all of this and
2:01:15
shown it, showed it in real time,
2:01:17
showed what was happening at the time
2:01:20
because I
2:01:23
think this fall,
2:01:26
if we're not careful, is the
2:01:28
color revolution in America.
2:01:30
I hope not, but there's
2:01:34
a good possibility of it happening. Yeah.
2:01:36
I would definitely advise to
2:01:39
rewatch at least two shows that I can
2:01:41
think of on the top of my head. We have
2:01:43
actual video of the people that were pushing
2:01:45
this during color revolution happening in both Eastern
2:01:48
Europe and the Middle East. It
2:01:50
is wild and I was just watching another
2:01:52
one just now. I'm like, oh my gosh. Just
2:01:57
like you said, everything that we were talking about in
2:01:59
the past. We'll get a new personality that pops
2:02:01
up out of nowhere like this one right here that
2:02:04
pretty much solidifies what we were talking about I mean
2:02:06
how far will this go? I don't know Yeah,
2:02:09
let's see if we can post some of this
2:02:11
stuff on X. There's a lot
2:02:14
of stuff going on That's really important
2:02:16
the Alexander Dugan. We just spent an
2:02:18
hour with Stephen Hicks. We're
2:02:20
gonna do part two of that tomorrow critically
2:02:23
important Tucker Carlson
2:02:25
opened the door for a conversation
2:02:27
on on him and he's
2:02:29
somebody I've been talking about for about
2:02:31
ten years very dangerous
2:02:35
and so we have to make sure
2:02:37
that we explain everybody exactly who he
2:02:39
is and what he wants and The
2:02:41
next the next thing is
2:02:43
the color revolution. So maybe you can
2:02:46
organize some Some
2:02:48
things on X and on glenbeck.com Jason.
2:02:50
Thank you So We
2:02:53
got a word in yesterday from the folks
2:02:56
over at Good ranchers They've been running an
2:02:58
amazing special at Good Ranchers comm called the
2:03:00
April price shield and the basic idea is
2:03:02
if you subscribe To any of their fantastic
2:03:05
monthly meat packages during the month
2:03:07
of April. You'll lock that price
2:03:09
in until Do
2:03:12
you have any idea what inflation could do
2:03:14
in the next 18 months to the cost
2:03:16
of meat? This
2:03:18
is a great deal Well, they didn't want
2:03:21
you to miss out on it April is
2:03:23
over in just a couple of days So
2:03:25
they're extending the offer another week until May
2:03:27
8th. So you still have a chance
2:03:29
to do it I don't have to
2:03:31
tell you that a lock on your price
2:03:34
of meat will save you a ton of
2:03:36
money and it is also all 100%
2:03:39
beef chicken and seafood this
2:03:41
exclusive price shield offer now ends
2:03:43
on May 8th So
2:03:46
please I mean the best investment you
2:03:48
can make is In
2:03:50
food right now in things because inflation
2:03:52
is going to start Really
2:03:56
crippling the average person
2:03:59
on food You can lock in your
2:04:01
price. Like if you could buy, I don't
2:04:03
know, you like Riceroni. If they have a
2:04:05
sale on Riceroni, buy the next 18 months
2:04:07
worth of Riceroni if you can and keep
2:04:10
it. It will save you money. When
2:04:12
it comes to meat, this is outrageous. This
2:04:15
is so great. goodranchers.com.
2:04:18
Use the promo code Beck for your 10% off of
2:04:22
your subscription and the price lock
2:04:24
guarantee until 2026. It's
2:04:27
goodranchers.com. That's goodranchers.com.
2:04:31
This is the Glenn Beck program.
2:04:49
Well, there's a time where we had two
2:04:51
political sides of the argument and people would
2:04:53
just discuss them and try to win on
2:04:55
the basis of persuasion of voters. That's
2:04:58
over. We're now throwing our
2:05:00
political opponents in prison and that's
2:05:02
the way this works. That's at least
2:05:04
part of it. The other part of it, the left
2:05:06
has really made an industry of lately, which is lawfare.
2:05:11
Lawyers for Hunter Biden now plan to
2:05:13
sue Fox News imminently according to a
2:05:15
letter set to the network
2:05:17
and obtained by NBC News. The
2:05:21
amazing part about this is forever
2:05:23
Hunter Biden denied that it
2:05:25
was his laptop or at least
2:05:28
never acknowledged that it was his laptop.
2:05:31
And he's suing
2:05:33
basically saying, well, you put these private
2:05:36
images from my laptop on your network.
2:05:39
This is an incredible way to go. By
2:05:42
the way, he looks like he has
2:05:46
signed up Mark Garagos to
2:05:48
represent him, the guy, if I remember
2:05:50
right, who represented Michael Jackson back
2:05:53
in the day. So it's a
2:05:55
nice company going on with the
2:05:57
Biden family as usual, always hanging
2:05:59
around. the best possible figures. We'll
2:06:02
have more tomorrow and more on Stu
2:06:04
Does America Tonight, 8pm
2:06:06
Eastern on Blaze TV.
